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, you are my God; early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you 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 your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the sanctuary.

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

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

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

Thus will I bless you while I live: I will lift up my hands in your 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 you with joyful lips:

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

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

7 quia fuisti adiutor meus et in velamento alarum tuarum exultabo

Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.

8 adhesit anima mea post te me suscepit dextera tua

My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds 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 swears by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
