在困乏中对 神的渴慕

大卫的诗,是他在犹大旷野时作的。

63  神啊!你是我的 神,我要切切寻求你;

在干旱、疲乏、无水之地,

我的心,我的身,

都渴想你,切慕你。

因此,我在圣所中瞻仰你,

为要见你的能力和荣耀。

因你的慈爱比生命更好,

我的嘴唇要颂赞你。

我要一生称颂你,

我要奉你的名举手祷告。

我的心满足,就像饱享了骨髓肥油;

我要用欢乐的嘴唇赞美你。

我在床上记念你,

我整夜默想你。

因为你帮助了我,

我要在你翅膀的荫下欢呼。

我心紧紧追随你;

你的右手扶持我。

但那些寻索我、要杀我的人,

必下到地的深处。

10 他们必交在刀剑之下,

成了野狗的食物。

11 但王必因 神欢喜;

所有指着 神起誓的,都必可以夸耀;

说谎的人的口却必被塞住。

My Soul Thirsts for You

A Psalm of David. [a]When he was in the wilderness of Judah.

63 O God, (A)You are my God; I shall seek You [b]earnestly;
My soul (B)thirsts for You, my flesh [c]yearns for You,
In a (C)dry and weary land without water.
Thus I have (D)beheld You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
Because Your (E)lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will laud You.
Thus I will bless You (F)as long as I live;
I will (G)lift up my hands in Your name.
My soul is (H)satisfied as with fatness and richness,
And my mouth offers (I)praises with lips of joyful songs.

When I remember You (J)on my bed,
I meditate on You in the (K)night watches,
For (L)You have been my help,
And in the (M)shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
My soul (N)clings [d]to You;
Your (O)right hand upholds me.

But those who (P)seek my [e]life to destroy it,
Will go into the [f](Q)depths of the earth.
10 [g]They will be (R)delivered over to the power of the sword;
They will be a (S)portion for foxes.
11 But the (T)king will be glad in God;
Everyone who (U)swears by Him will boast,
For the (V)mouths of those who speak lies will be closed.

Psalm 63

My Soul Thirsts for You

Heading

A psalm by David. When he was in the wilderness of Judah.[a]

Thirsting for God

God, you are my God. Eagerly I seek you.
My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you,
    in a dry and dreary land without water.
Yes, in the sanctuary I have watched you
    to see your power and your glory.

Joy Even in Adversity

Because your mercy is better than life,
    my lips will worship you.
Yes, I will bless you as long as I live.
In your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied with rich food.[b]
My mouth will praise you with lips filled with songs.
Whenever I remember you on my bed,
throughout the watches of the night I meditate on you.
Because you are a help for me,
I sing for joy under the shade of your wings.
My soul clings to you.
Your right hand upholds me.

Destruction for the Defiant

But those who seek my life will go to destruction.
They will go into the depths of the earth.
10 They will be given over to the power of the sword.
They will become food for foxes.[c]
11 But the king will rejoice in God.
All who swear by him will praise him,
but the mouths of those speaking lies will be shut.

You, God, are my God,

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)

I will praise you as long as I live,(F)
    and in your name I will lift up my hands.(G)
I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;(H)

    I think of you through the watches of the night.(I)
Because you are my help,(J)
    I sing in the shadow of your wings.(K)
I cling to you;(L)
    your right hand upholds me.(M)
