Psalms 63
1 God, you are the God whom I [worship]. I greatly desire to be with you like [SIL] a person in a dry hot desert greatly desires [some cool water].
Psalmus David, Cum esset in deserto Idumaeae. Deus Deus meus ad te de luce vigilo. Sitivit in te anima mea, quam multipliciter tibi caro mea.
2 So, I want to see you in your temple; I want to see that you are great and glorious.
In terra deserta, et invia, et inaquosa: sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam, et gloriam tuam.
3 Your constantly loving [me] is (worth more/more precious) than [my] life, so I [MTY] will [always] praise you.
Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas: labia mea laudabunt te.
4 I will praise you all the time that I live; I will lift up my hands to you while I pray.
Sic benedicam te in vita mea: et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.
5 [Knowing you satisfies me more than] [IDM, MET] my eating a very big feast, [so] I will praise you while I sing [MTY] joyful songs.
Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea: et labiis exultationis laudabit os meum.
6 While I lie on my bed, I think about you. I think/meditate about you all during the night,
Sic memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te:
7 because you have always helped me, and I sing joyfully knowing that I am protected by you [as a little bird is protected] under [its mother’s] wings [MET].
quia fuisti adiutor meus. Et in velamento alarum tuarum exultabo,
8 I cling to you; and with your hand/power you protect me.
adhaesit anima mea post te: me suscepit dextera tua.
9 But those who are trying to kill me will [die and] descend into the place of the dead;
Ipsi vero in vanum quaesierunt animam meam, introibunt in inferiora terrae:
10 they will be killed in battles [MTY] and their [corpses] will be eaten by jackals/wild dogs.
tradentur in manus gladii, partes vulpium erunt.
11 But I, the king [of Israel], will rejoice in what God has done; and all those who revere and trust God will praise him, but he will not allow liars to say anything.
Rex vero laetabitur in Deo, laudabuntur omnes qui iurant in eo: quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.
