寻求神者必得饱足

63 大卫犹大旷野的时候,作了这诗。

神啊,你是我的神,我要切切地寻求你!在干旱疲乏无水之地,我渴想你,我的心切慕你。
我在圣所中曾如此瞻仰你,为要见你的能力和你的荣耀。
因你的慈爱比生命更好,我的嘴唇要颂赞你。
我还活的时候要这样称颂你,我要奉你的名举手。
我在床上记念你,在夜更的时候思想你,我的心就像饱足了骨髓肥油,
我也要以欢乐的嘴唇赞美你。
因为你曾帮助我,我就在你翅膀的荫下欢呼。
我心紧紧地跟随你,你的右手扶持我。
但那些寻索要灭我命的人,必往地底下去。
10 他们必被刀剑所杀,被野狗所吃。
11 但是王必因神欢喜,凡指着他发誓的,必要夸口,因为说谎之人的口必被塞住。

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!
我曾在你的聖所瞻仰你的榮面,
目睹你的權能和榮耀。
你的慈愛比生命更寶貴,
我的嘴唇要讚美你。
我一生都要讚美你,
奉你的名舉手禱告。
我心滿意足,如享盛宴,
唱起歡快的歌讚美你。
我躺在床上的時候思念你,
整夜地思想你。
因為你是我的幫助,
我在你翅膀的蔭庇下歡歌。
我的心依戀你,
你的右手扶持我。
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。

Wishing to Be Near God

A psalm of David when he was in the ·desert [wilderness] of Judah [C fleeing from a jealous Saul; 1 Sam. 21–31].

63 God, you are my God.
    I ·search for [am intent on] you.
I thirst for you [42:1–2]
    ·like someone [or my flesh yearns for you] in a dry, ·empty [exhausted; weary] land
    where there is no water.
I have seen you in ·the Temple [L the Holy Place; or holiness]
    and have seen your strength and glory.
Because your ·love [loyalty] is better than life,
    ·I [L My lips] will praise you.
I will ·praise [bless] you ·as long as I live [L with my life].
    I will lift up my hands in your name [C in prayer].
I will be ·content as if I had eaten the best foods [L satisfied as with fat and fatness].
    My lips will sing, and my mouth will praise you.

I remember you while I’m lying in bed;
    I ·think about [meditate on] you through the watches of the night [C the night was divided into four watches of three hours each].
You are my help.
    ·Because of your protection [L In the shadow of your wings; C an image of compassion or perhaps a reference to the cherubim whose wings covered the Ark of the Covenant; Ex. 25:20], I sing.
I ·stay close [cling] to you;
    ·you support me with your right hand [L your right hand sustains me].

·Some people are trying to kill me [L They seek my life for ruin],
    but they will go down to the ·grave [L underbelly of the earth].
10 They will be ·killed with swords [L handed over to the sword]
    and ·eaten by wild dogs [L be the prey of jackals].
11 But the king will rejoice in his God.
    All who ·make promises in his name [L swear by him] will praise him,
but the mouths of liars will be shut.

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;

To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

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.
