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, IN HIS BEING IN THE WILDERNESS OF JUDAH. O God, You [are] my God, earnestly I seek You, My soul has thirsted for You, My flesh has longed for You, In a dry and weary land, without waters.
2 Biarlah aku memandang Engkau di Rumah-Mu, dan melihat kekuatan dan keagungan-Mu.
So I have seen You in the sanctuary, To behold Your strength and Your glory.
3 Kasih-Mu lebih berharga dari hidup, sebab itu aku memuji Engkau.
Because better [is] Your kindness than life, My lips praise You.
4 Seumur hidupku aku bersyukur kepada-Mu; kuangkat tanganku kepada-Mu sambil berdoa.
So I bless You in my life, I lift up my hands in Your Name.
5 Kupuji Engkau dengan bersorak gembira, sebab Engkau memuaskan jiwaku seperti dengan makanan lezat.
As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips my mouth praises.
6 Waktu berbaring di tempat tidur, kuingat pada-Mu; sepanjang malam aku merenungkan Engkau,
If I have remembered You on my bed, I meditate on You in the watches.
7 sebab Engkaulah yang telah menolong aku; dalam naungan sayap-Mu aku menyanyi gembira.
For You have been a help to me, And I sing in the shadow of Your wings.
8 Kupegang Engkau erat-erat, tangan-Mu menopang aku.
My soul has cleaved after You, Your right hand has taken hold on me.
9 Tetapi orang-orang yang mau membunuh aku akan turun ke dunia orang mati.
And they who seek my soul for desolation, Go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 Mereka akan tewas dalam pertempuran, dan menjadi makanan binatang buas.
They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, They are a portion for foxes.
11 Raja akan bergembira karena pertolongan Allah; orang yang bersumpah demi Allah akan bermegah-megah, tetapi mulut pendusta akan disumbat.
And the king rejoices in God, Everyone swearing by Him boasts, But the mouth of those speaking lies is stopped!
