Psalm 63
New American Standard Bible
The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.
A Psalm of David, [a]when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
63 God, (A)You are my God; I shall be watching for You;
My soul (B)thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a (C)dry and exhausted land where there is no water.
2 So have I (D)seen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and glory.
3 Because Your [b](E)favor is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
4 So I will bless You (F)as long as I live;
I will (G)lift up my hands in Your name.
5 My soul is (H)satisfied as with fat and fatness,
And my mouth offers (I)praises with joyful lips.
6 When I remember You (J)on my bed,
I meditate on You in the (K)night watches,
7 For (L)You have been my help,
And in the (M)shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
8 My soul (N)clings [c]to You;
Your (O)right hand takes hold of me.
9 But those who (P)seek my [d]life to destroy it,
Will go into the [e](Q)depths of the earth.
10 [f]They will be [g](R)turned over to the power of the sword;
They will be a [h](S)prey for foxes.
11 But the (T)king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who (U)swears by Him will boast,
For the (V)mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
渴慕上帝
大卫在旷野时作的诗。
63 上帝啊，你是我的上帝，
我迫切地寻求你！
在干旱荒凉之地，
我的心渴慕你，渴慕你！
2 我曾在你的圣所瞻仰你的荣面，
目睹你的权能和荣耀。
3 你的慈爱比生命更宝贵，
我的嘴唇要赞美你。
4 我一生都要赞美你，
奉你的名举手祷告。
5 我心满意足，如享盛宴，
唱起欢快的歌赞美你。
6 我躺在床上的时候思念你，
整夜地思想你。
7 因为你是我的帮助，
我在你翅膀的荫庇下欢歌。
8 我的心依恋你，
你的右手扶持我。
9 那些图谋毁灭我的人必下到阴间。
10 他们必丧身刀下，
成为豺狼的食物。
11 但王要因上帝而欢欣，
凡信靠祂的人必欢喜快乐，
说谎者的口必被封住。
Psalm 63
King James Version
63 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 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 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.
