Psalmorum 63

1 Psalmus David, Cum esset in deserto Idumaeae. Deus Deus meus ad te de luce vigilo. Sitivit in te anima mea, quam multipliciter tibi caro mea.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.

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

So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

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

Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

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

So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.

5 Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea: et labiis exultationis laudabit os meum.

My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

6 Sic memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te:

When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.

7 quia fuisti adiutor meus. Et in velamento alarum tuarum exultabo,

For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

8 adhaesit anima mea post te: me suscepit dextera tua.

My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

9 Ipsi vero in vanum quaesierunt animam meam, introibunt in inferiora terrae:

But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.

10 tradentur in manus gladii, partes vulpium erunt.

They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.

11 Rex vero laetabitur in Deo, laudabuntur omnes qui iurant in eo: quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.

But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
