Psalmorum 63
1 Psalmus David, Cum esset in deserto Idumææ. Deus Deus meus ad te de luce vigilo. Sitivit in te anima mea, quam multipliciter tibi caro mea.
God, you are the God whom I [worship]. I greatly desire to be with you like [SIL] a person in a dry hot desert greatly desires [some cool water].
2 In terra deserta, et invia, et inaquosa: sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam, et gloriam tuam.
So, I want to see you in your temple; I want to see that you are great and glorious.
3 Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas: labia mea laudabunt te.
Your constantly loving [me] is (worth more/more precious) than [my] life, so I [MTY] will [always] praise you.
4 Sic benedicam te in vita mea: et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.
I will praise you all the time that I live; I will lift up my hands to you while I pray.
5 Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea: et labiis exultationis laudabit os meum.
[Knowing you satisfies me more than] [IDM, MET] my eating a very big feast, [so] I will praise you while I sing [MTY] joyful songs.
6 Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te:
While I lie on my bed, I think about you. I think/meditate about you all during the night,
7 quia fuisti adiutor meus. Et in velamento alarum tuarum exultabo,
because you have always helped me, and I sing joyfully knowing that I am protected by you [as a little bird is protected] under [its mother’s] wings [MET].
8 adhæsit anima mea post te: me suscepit dextera tua.
I cling to you; and with your hand/power you protect me.
9 Ipsi vero in vanum quæsierunt animam meam, introibunt in inferiora terræ:
But those who are trying to kill me will [die and] descend into the place of the dead;
10 tradentur in manus gladii, partes vulpium erunt.
they will be killed in battles [MTY] and their [corpses] will be eaten by jackals/wild dogs.
11 Rex vero lætabitur in Deo, laudabuntur omnes qui iurant in eo: quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.
But I, the king [of Israel], will rejoice in what God has done; and all those who revere and trust God will praise him, but he will not allow liars to say anything.
