Desejo de estar com Deus

Salmo de Davi. Escrito quando ele estava no deserto de Judá.

63 Ó Deus, o Senhor é o meu Deus,
    eu o procuro ansiosamente.
A minha alma tem muita sede do Senhor
    nesta terra seca, cansada e sem água.
    Todo o meu ser deseja estar com o Senhor!

Eu o contemplei no seu templo,
    vi o seu poder e a sua glória.
O seu amor é melhor do que a própria vida,
    sempre o louvarei.
Toda a minha vida o louvarei;
    levantarei as minhas mãos para adorá-lo.
Ficarei satisfeito, como se tivesse comido a melhor refeição.
    Os meus lábios o louvarão com alegria.

Quando estou deitado, lembro do Senhor;
    penso no Senhor toda a noite,
porque o Senhor é a minha ajuda,
    e eu canto de alegria à sombra das suas asas.
A minha alma está unida ao Senhor,
    a sua mão direita me segura.

Mas os que querem me matar serão destruídos;
    descerão ao fundo do túmulo.
10 Eles serão mortos pela espada
    e os seus corpos serão comidos pelos animais selvagens.
11 O rei se alegrará pelo que Deus fez, e todos os que o amam o louvarão.
    Mas a boca dos mentirosos será fechada.

A psalm of David when he was in the Desert of Judah.

63 God, you are my God.
    I seek you with all my heart.
With all my strength I thirst for you
    in this dry desert
    where there isn’t any water.

I have seen you in the sacred tent.
    There I have seen your power and your glory.
Your love is better than life.
    So I will bring glory to you with my lips.
I will praise you as long as I live.
    I will call on your name when I lift up my hands in prayer.
I will be as satisfied as if I had eaten the best food there is.
    I will sing praise to you with my mouth.

As I lie on my bed I remember you.
    I think of you all night long.
Because you have helped me,
    I sing in the shadow of your wings.
I hold on to you tightly.
    Your powerful right hand takes good care of me.

Those who want to kill me will be destroyed.
    They will go down into the grave.
10 They will be killed by swords.
    They will become food for wild dogs.

11 But the king will be filled with joy because of what God has done.
    All those who make promises in God’s name will be able to brag.
    But the mouths of liars will be shut.

Psalm 63[a]

A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

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)

I have seen you in the sanctuary(C)
    and beheld your power and your glory.(D)
Because your love is better than life,(E)
    my lips will glorify you.
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)
    with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you;
    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)

Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;(N)
    they will go down to the depths of the earth.(O)
10 They will be given over to the sword(P)
    and become food for jackals.(Q)

11 But the king will rejoice in God;
    all who swear by God will glory in him,(R)
    while the mouths of liars will be silenced.(S)
