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

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee 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 thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

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

Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

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

Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy 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 [thee] with joyful lips:

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

When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the [night] watches.

7 quia fuisti adiutor meus et in velamento alarum tuarum exultabo

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

8 adhesit anima mea post te me suscepit dextera tua

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth 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 sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
