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 Iudaeae 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 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 pinguidine repleatur anima mea et labia exultationis laudabit os meum
6 While I lie on my bed, I think about you. I think/meditate about you all during the night,
si memor fui tui super stratum meum in matutinis meditabar 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.
adhesit 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 laudabitur omnis qui iurat in eo quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua
