Psalmorum 63

1 psalmus David cum esset in deserto Iudaeae Deus Deus meus ad te de luce vigilo sitivit in te anima mea quam multipliciter tibi caro mea

O GOD, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee 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 thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

3 quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas labia mea laudabunt te

Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

4 sic benedicam te in vita mea in nomine tuo levabo manus meas

Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

5 sicut adipe et pinguidine repleatur anima mea et labia exultationis laudabit os meum

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

6 si memor fui tui super stratum meum in matutinis meditabar in te

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

7 quia fuisti adiutor meus et in velamento alarum tuarum exultabo

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

8 adhesit anima mea post te me suscepit dextera tua

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

9 ipsi vero in vanum quaesierunt animam meam introibunt in inferiora terrae

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 laetabitur in Deo laudabitur omnis qui iurat in eo quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua

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