诗篇 63

1 大卫在犹大旷野的时候，作了这诗。 神啊，你是我的 神， 我要切切地寻求你， 在干旱疲乏无水之地，我渴想你； 我的心切慕你。

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

2 我在圣所中曾如此瞻仰你， 为要见你的能力和你的荣耀。

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

3 因你的慈爱比生命更好， 我的嘴唇要颂赞你。

For thy mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.

4 我还活的时候要这样称颂你； 我要奉你的名举手。

Thus will I bless thee during my life: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

5 我在床上记念你， 在夜更的时候思想你； 我的心就像饱足了骨髓肥油， 我也要以欢乐的嘴唇赞美你。

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

6

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

7 因为你曾帮助我， 我就在你翅膀的荫下欢呼。

For thou hast been my helper, and in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.

8 我心紧紧地跟随你； 你的右手扶持我。

My soul has kept very close behind thee: thy right hand has upheld me.

9 但那些寻索要灭我命的人 必往地底下去；

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

10 他们必被刀剑所杀， 被野狗所吃。

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

11 但是王必因 神欢喜。 凡指着他发誓的必要夸口， 因为说谎之人的口必被塞住。

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.
