詩篇 63
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
渴慕上帝
大衛在曠野時作的詩。
63 上帝啊，你是我的上帝，
我迫切地尋求你！
在乾旱荒涼之地，
我的心渴慕你，渴慕你！
2 我曾在你的聖所瞻仰你的榮面，
目睹你的權能和榮耀。
3 你的慈愛比生命更寶貴，
我的嘴唇要讚美你。
4 我一生都要讚美你，
奉你的名舉手禱告。
5 我心滿意足，如享盛宴，
唱起歡快的歌讚美你。
6 我躺在床上的時候思念你，
整夜地思想你。
7 因為你是我的幫助，
我在你翅膀的蔭庇下歡歌。
8 我的心依戀你，
你的右手扶持我。
9 那些圖謀毀滅我的人必下到陰間。
10 他們必喪身刀下，
成為豺狼的食物。
11 但王要因上帝而歡欣，
凡信靠祂的人必歡喜快樂，
說謊者的口必被封住。
Psalm 63
EasyEnglish Bible
David wrote this psalm when he was in the Judah wilderness.
A morning song[a]
63 God, you are my God.
I want to be near to you.
I need you to give me life,
like a thirsty person in a dry desert.
As a person needs water to live,
that is how I need you.[b]
2 When I have gone into your temple,
I have seen what you are like.
I have seen your great power and your glory.
3 Your faithful love for me is better than life itself.
So I will speak out to praise you.
4 Yes, I will thank you for as long as I live.
I will lift up my hands and I will pray to you.
5 You make me very happy,
better than a feast of good food.
I will sing happy songs to praise you.
6 When I lie on my bed,
I think about you all through the night.
7 You are the one who keeps me safe,
like a bird protects its babies under its wings.
So I sing happy songs.
8 I keep very near to you
and your strong right hand keeps me safe.
9 My enemies are trying to kill me,
but I know that they themselves will die.
They will go down into the deep hole of death.
10 Soldiers will kill them with swords.
Wild dogs will eat their dead bodies.
11 But the king will sing songs to praise God.[c]
Everybody who promises to serve God
will speak aloud to praise him.
But everyone who tells lies
will not be able to say anything!
Footnotes
- 63:1 See 1 Samuel 23—24; 2 Samuel 15:23. David was in a difficult place, far away from the temple in Jerusalem. He still wanted to know that God was near to him.
- 63:1 As our bodies need food and drink so that we can live, we also need God to give us spiritual life.
- 63:11 David is probably talking about himself here, as king.
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.
