< 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 Psalme of David. When he was in the wildernesse of Judah. O God, thou art my God, earely will I seeke thee: my soule thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and drye land without water.
2 In terra deserta, et invia, et inaquosa: sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam, et gloriam tuam.
Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
3 Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas: labia mea laudabunt te.
For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
4 Sic benedicam te in vita mea: et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.
Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
5 Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea: et labiis exultationis laudabit os meum.
My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
6 Sic memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te:
When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
7 quia fuisti adiutor meus. Et in velamento alarum tuarum exultabo,
Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
8 adhaesit anima mea post te: me suscepit dextera tua.
My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
9 Ipsi vero in vanum quaesierunt animam meam, introibunt in inferiora terrae:
Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
10 tradentur in manus gladii, partes vulpium erunt.
They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be 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 shall reioyce in God, and all that sweare by him shall reioyce in him: for the mouth of them that speake lyes, shall be stopped.
