Psalms 63

1 A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, my God, you, you do I seek: my heart thirsts for you, my body faints for you in a parched and waterless land.

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。

2 As I in the temple have seen you, beholding your power and your glory,

我在圣所中曾如此瞻仰你， 为要见你的能力和你的荣耀。

3 for better than life is your kindness: my lips shall utter your praise.

因你的慈爱比生命更好， 我的嘴唇要颂赞你。

4 So, while I live, I will bless you, and lift up my hands in your name.

我还活的时候要这样称颂你； 我要奉你的名举手。

5 As with marrow and fat am I feasted; with joyful lips I will praise you.

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。

6 I call you to mind on my bed, and muse on you in the night watches;

7 for you have been my help, I joyfully sing in the shadow of your wings.

因为你曾帮助我， 我就在你翅膀的荫下欢呼。

8 I cling close after you, your right hand holds me up.

我心紧紧地跟随你； 你的右手扶持我。

9 But those who seek after my life shall go down to the depths of the earth,

但那些寻索要灭我命的人 必往地底下去；

10 given o’er to the power of the sword, or as prey for jackals to devour.

他们必被刀剑所杀， 被野狗所吃。

11 But the king shall rejoice in God: all who own his allegiance will glory. For the mouth of the false shall be stopped.

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。
