Salmos 63

1 Un salmo de David, cuando estaba en el desierto de Judá. Dios, tú eres mi Dios y te busco de todo corazón. Mi ser entero te anhela y tiene sed de ti, en medio de esta tierra seca, árida y carente de aguas.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to you early; my soul has thirsted for you: how often has my flesh [longed] after you, in a barren and trackless and dry land!

2 Te veo en el Templo. Contemplo tu poder y tu gloria.

Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.

3 Tu fidelidad y amor son mejores que la vida misma. Por ello te alabaré.

For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.

4 Te agradeceré tanto como viva. Elevo mis manos hacia ti y celebro tu maravilloso carácter.

Thus will I bless you during my life: I will lift up my hands in your name.

5 Tú me satisfaces más que el mejor de los alimentos. Te alabaré con canciones alegres.

Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise your name.

6 Paso la noche entera pensando en ti desde que me acuesto, meditando sobre ti.

Forasmuch as I have remembered you on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on you.

7 Porque eres quien me ayuda, canto feliz bajo tus alas.

For you have been my helper, and in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.

8 Me aferro a ti y tus fuertes brazos me levantan.

My soul has kept very close behind you: your right hand has upheld me.

9 Los que tratan de destruirme irán a la tumba.

But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.

10 Morirán a punta de espada y serán alimento para los chacales.

They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.

11 Pero el rey vivirá feliz por todo lo que Dios ha hecho. Todos los que siguen a Dios le alabarán, pero los que mienten serán silenciados.

But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
