Psalms 63

1 A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. God, you are my God! I earnestly search for you, my soul thirsts for you, and my flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

大衛在猶大曠野的時候，作了這詩。 上帝啊，你是我的上帝， 我要切切地尋求你， 在乾旱疲乏無水之地，我渴想你； 我的心切慕你。

2 So I have looked on you in the sanctuary, to see your power and your glory.

我在聖所中曾如此瞻仰你， 為要見你的能力和你的榮耀。

3 Because your covenant faithfulness is better than life, my lips will praise you.

因你的慈愛比生命更好， 我的嘴唇要頌讚你。

4 So I will bless you while I live; I will lift up my hands in your name.

我還活的時候要這樣稱頌你； 我要奉你的名舉手。

5 It will be as if I ate a meal of marrow and fatness; with joyful lips my mouth will praise you,

我在床上記念你， 在夜更的時候思想你； 我的心就像飽足了骨髓肥油， 我也要以歡樂的嘴唇讚美你。

6 when I think about you on my bed and meditate on you in the night hours.

7 For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.

因為你曾幫助我， 我就在你翅膀的蔭下歡呼。

8 I cling to you; your right hand supports me.

我心緊緊地跟隨你； 你的右手扶持我。

9 But those who seek to destroy my life will go down into the lowest parts of the earth;

但那些尋索要滅我命的人 必往地底下去；

10 they will be given over to those whose hands use the sword, and they will become food for the jackals.

他們必被刀劍所殺， 被野狗所吃。

11 But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who swears by him will be proud of him, but the mouth of those who speak lies will be stopped up.

但是王必因上帝歡喜。 凡指着他發誓的必要誇口， 因為說謊之人的口必被塞住。
