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 desert of Idumea. O God, my God: to you, I keep vigil until first light. For you, my soul has thirsted, to you my body, in so many ways.
2 Biarlah aku memandang Engkau di Rumah-Mu, dan melihat kekuatan dan keagungan-Mu.
By a deserted land, both inaccessible and waterless, so I have appeared in the sanctuary before you, in order to behold your virtue and your glory.
3 Kasih-Mu lebih berharga dari hidup, sebab itu aku memuji Engkau.
For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise.
4 Seumur hidupku aku bersyukur kepada-Mu; kuangkat tanganku kepada-Mu sambil berdoa.
So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift up my hands in your name.
5 Kupuji Engkau dengan bersorak gembira, sebab Engkau memuaskan jiwaku seperti dengan makanan lezat.
Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.
6 Waktu berbaring di tempat tidur, kuingat pada-Mu; sepanjang malam aku merenungkan Engkau,
When I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate on you.
7 sebab Engkaulah yang telah menolong aku; dalam naungan sayap-Mu aku menyanyi gembira.
For you have been my helper. And I will exult under the cover of your wings.
8 Kupegang Engkau erat-erat, tangan-Mu menopang aku.
My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me.
9 Tetapi orang-orang yang mau membunuh aku akan turun ke dunia orang mati.
Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into the lower parts of the earth.
10 Mereka akan tewas dalam pertempuran, dan menjadi makanan binatang buas.
They will be delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of foxes.
11 Raja akan bergembira karena pertolongan Allah; orang yang bersumpah demi Allah akan bermegah-megah, tetapi mulut pendusta akan disumbat.
Truly, the king will rejoice in God: all those who swear by him will be praised, because the mouth of those who speak iniquity has been blocked.
