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!

O God, you are my God; early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

2 In terra deserta, et invia, et inaquosa, sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam.

To see your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the sanctuary.

3 Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas, labia mea laudabunt te.

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

4 Sic benedicam te in vita mea, et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.

Thus will I bless you while I live: I will lift up my hands in your name.

5 Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea, et labiis exsultationis laudabit os meum.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips:

6 Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te.

When I remember you on my bed, and meditate on you in the night watches.

7 Quia fuisti adjutor meus, et in velamento alarum tuarum exsultabo.

Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.

8 Adhæsit anima mea post te; me suscepit dextera tua.

My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds me.

9 Ipsi vero in vanum quæsierunt animam meam: introibunt in inferiora terræ;

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 tradentur in manus gladii: partes vulpium erunt.

They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

11 Rex vero lætabitur in Deo; laudabuntur omnes qui jurant in eo: quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
