Mazmur 63
1 Mazmur Daud, ketika ia berada di padang gurun Yehuda. Ya Allah, Engkaulah Allahku, kucari dan kurindukan Engkau. Seperti tanah tandus haus akan air, begitulah aku haus akan Dikau.
A Psalm. Of David. When he was in the waste land of Judah. O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;
2 Biarlah aku memandang Engkau di Rumah-Mu, dan melihat kekuatan dan keagungan-Mu.
To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.
3 Kasih-Mu lebih berharga dari hidup, sebab itu aku memuji Engkau.
Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.
4 Seumur hidupku aku bersyukur kepada-Mu; kuangkat tanganku kepada-Mu sambil berdoa.
So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.
5 Kupuji Engkau dengan bersorak gembira, sebab Engkau memuaskan jiwaku seperti dengan makanan lezat.
My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;
6 Waktu berbaring di tempat tidur, kuingat pada-Mu; sepanjang malam aku merenungkan Engkau,
When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time.
7 sebab Engkaulah yang telah menolong aku; dalam naungan sayap-Mu aku menyanyi gembira.
Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.
8 Kupegang Engkau erat-erat, tangan-Mu menopang aku.
My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.
9 Tetapi orang-orang yang mau membunuh aku akan turun ke dunia orang mati.
But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth.
10 Mereka akan tewas dalam pertempuran, dan menjadi makanan binatang buas.
They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food for foxes.
11 Raja akan bergembira karena pertolongan Allah; orang yang bersumpah demi Allah akan bermegah-megah, tetapi mulut pendusta akan disumbat.
But the king will have joy in God; everyone who takes an oath by him will have cause for pride; but the false mouth will be stopped.
