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 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.
2 Biarlah aku memandang Engkau di Rumah-Mu, dan melihat kekuatan dan keagungan-Mu.
So I have looked on you in the sanctuary, to see your power and your glory.
3 Kasih-Mu lebih berharga dari hidup, sebab itu aku memuji Engkau.
Because your covenant faithfulness is better than life, my lips will praise you.
4 Seumur hidupku aku bersyukur kepada-Mu; kuangkat tanganku kepada-Mu sambil berdoa.
So I will bless you while I live; I will lift up my hands in your name.
5 Kupuji Engkau dengan bersorak gembira, sebab Engkau memuaskan jiwaku seperti dengan makanan lezat.
It will be as if I ate a meal of marrow and fatness; with joyful lips my mouth will praise you,
6 Waktu berbaring di tempat tidur, kuingat pada-Mu; sepanjang malam aku merenungkan Engkau,
when I think about you on my bed and meditate on you in the night hours.
7 sebab Engkaulah yang telah menolong aku; dalam naungan sayap-Mu aku menyanyi gembira.
For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.
8 Kupegang Engkau erat-erat, tangan-Mu menopang aku.
I cling to you; your right hand supports me.
9 Tetapi orang-orang yang mau membunuh aku akan turun ke dunia orang mati.
But those who seek to destroy my life will go down into the lowest parts of the earth;
10 Mereka akan tewas dalam pertempuran, dan menjadi makanan binatang buas.
they will be given over to those whose hands use the sword, and they will become food for the jackals.
11 Raja akan bergembira karena pertolongan Allah; orang yang bersumpah demi Allah akan bermegah-megah, tetapi mulut pendusta akan disumbat.
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.
