Psalm 63[a]

A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

You, God, are my God,
    earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,(A)
    my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
    where there is no water.(B)

I have seen you in the sanctuary(C)
    and beheld your power and your glory.(D)
Because your love is better than life,(E)
    my lips will glorify you.

Psalm 63

A song of David while in the wilderness of Judah.

O True God, You are my God, the One whom I trust.
    I seek You with every fiber of my being.
In this dry and weary land with no water in sight,
    my soul is dry and longs for You.
    My body aches for You, for Your presence.
I have seen You in Your sanctuary
    and have been awed by Your power and glory.
Your steadfast love is better than life itself,
    so my lips will give You all my praise.

63 God—you’re my God!
    I can’t get enough of you!
I’ve worked up such hunger and thirst for God,
    traveling across dry and weary deserts.

2-4 So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open,
    drinking in your strength and glory.
In your generous love I am really living at last!
    My lips brim praises like fountains.
I bless you every time I take a breath;
    My arms wave like banners of praise to you.

El alma sedienta se satisface en Dios

Salmo de David, cuando estaba en el desierto de Judá.

63 Oh Dios, Tú eres mi Dios(A); te buscaré con afán.
Mi alma tiene sed de Ti, mi carne te anhela(B)
Cual tierra seca y árida donde no hay agua(C).
Así te contemplaba en el santuario,
Para ver Tu poder y Tu gloria(D).
Porque Tu misericordia es mejor que la vida(E),
Mis labios te alabarán.
