ગીતશાસ્ત્ર 63
1 ૧ દાઉદનું ગીત; તે યહૂદિયાના અરણ્યમાં હતો તે વખતનું. હે ઈશ્વર, તમે મારા ઈશ્વર છો; હું ગંભીરતાપૂર્વક તમારી શોધ કરીશ; જ્યાં પાણી હોતું નથી, એવા સૂકા તથા ખેદજનક દેશમાં મારો આત્મા તમારે માટે તલસે છે અને મારો દેહ તમારે માટે તલપે છે.
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to thee early; my soul has thirsted for thee: how often has my flesh [longed] after thee, in a barren and trackless and dry land!
Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, that I might see thy power and thy glory.
For thy mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.
Thus will I bless thee during my life: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise thy name.
Forasmuch as I have remembered thee on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on thee.
For thou hast been my helper, and in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.
My soul has kept very close behind thee: thy right hand has upheld me.
But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.
They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.
11 ૧૧ પણ રાજા ઈશ્વરમાં આનંદ કરશે, જે તેમના સમ ખાય છે તે દરેકનો જય થશે, પણ જૂઠું બોલનારાનાં મુખ તો બંધ કરી દેવામાં આવશે.
But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
