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
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 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 pinguidine repleatur anima mea et labia 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 meditabar 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 adhesit 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 quaesierunt animam meam introibunt in inferiora terrae
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 laetabitur in Deo laudabitur omnis qui iurat 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.
