Salmi 63
Nuova Riveduta 2006
L’anima assetata di Dio
63 (A)Salmo di Davide, quando era nel deserto di Giuda.
O Dio, tu sei il mio Dio, io ti cerco dall’alba;
di te è assetata l’anima mia,
a te anela il mio corpo languente in arida terra, senz’acqua.
2 Così ti ho contemplato nel santuario,
per vedere la tua forza e la tua gloria.
3 Poiché la tua bontà vale più della vita,
le mie labbra ti loderanno.
4 Così ti benedirò finché io viva,
e alzerò le mani invocando il tuo nome.
5 L’anima mia sarà saziata come di midollo e di grasso,
e la mia bocca ti loderà con labbra gioiose.
6 Di te mi ricordo nel mio letto,
a te penso nelle veglie notturne.
7 Poiché tu sei stato il mio aiuto,
io esulto all’ombra delle tue ali.
8 L’anima mia si lega a te per seguirti;
la tua destra mi sostiene.
9 Ma quanti cercano la rovina dell’anima mia,
sprofonderanno nelle parti più basse della terra.
10 Saranno dati in balìa della spada,
saranno preda di sciacalli.
11 Ma il re si rallegrerà in Dio;
chiunque giura per lui si glorierà,
perché ai bugiardi verrà chiusa la bocca.
Psalm 63

Psalm 63[a]
A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.
1 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)
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary(C)
and beheld your power and your glory.(D)
3 Because your love is better than life,(E)
my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I live,(F)
and in your name I will lift up my hands.(G)
5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;(H)
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6 On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.(I)
7 Because you are my help,(J)
I sing in the shadow of your wings.(K)
8 I cling to you;(L)
your right hand upholds me.(M)

Psalm 63
New King James Version
Joy in the Fellowship of God
A Psalm of David (A)when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
63 O God, You are my God;
Early will I seek You;
(B)My soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.
2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
To see (C)Your power and Your glory.
3 (D)Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
4 Thus I will bless You while I live;
I will (E)lift up my hands in Your name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with [a]marrow and [b]fatness,
And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
6 When (F)I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches.
7 Because You have been my help,
Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
8 My soul follows close behind You;
Your right hand upholds me.
9 But those who seek my life, to destroy it,
Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall [c]fall by the sword;
They shall be [d]a portion for jackals.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God;
(G)Everyone who swears by Him shall glory;
But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
