在困乏中對 神的渴慕

大衛的詩,是他在猶大曠野時作的。

63  神啊!你是我的 神,我要切切尋求你;

在乾旱、疲乏、無水之地,

我的心,我的身,

都渴想你,切慕你。

因此,我在聖所中瞻仰你,

為要見你的能力和榮耀。

因你的慈愛比生命更好,

我的嘴唇要頌讚你。

我要一生稱頌你,

我要奉你的名舉手禱告。

我的心滿足,就像飽享了骨髓肥油;

我要用歡樂的嘴唇讚美你。

我在床上記念你,

我整夜默想你。

因為你幫助了我,

我要在你翅膀的蔭下歡呼。

我心緊緊追隨你;

你的右手扶持我。

但那些尋索我、要殺我的人,

必下到地的深處。

10 他們必交在刀劍之下,

成了野狗的食物。

11 但王必因 神歡喜;

所有指著 神起誓的,都必可以誇耀;

說謊的人的口卻必被塞住。

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.
So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
To see (C)Your power and Your glory.

(D)Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
Thus I will bless You while I live;
I will (E)lift up my hands in Your name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with [a]marrow and [b]fatness,
And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.

When (F)I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches.
Because You have been my help,
Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
My soul follows close behind You;
Your right hand upholds me.

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.

My Soul Thirsts for You

A Psalm of David, (A)when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

63 O God, you are my God; (B)earnestly I seek you;
    (C)my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
    as in (D)a dry and weary land where there is no water.
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
    beholding (E)your power and glory.
Because your (F)steadfast love is better than life,
    my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you (G)as long as I live;
    in your (H)name I will (I)lift up my hands.

My soul will be (J)satisfied as with fat and rich food,
    and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
when I remember you (K)upon my bed,
    and meditate on you in (L)the watches of the night;
for you have been my help,
    and in (M)the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
My soul (N)clings to you;
    your right hand (O)upholds me.

But those who seek to destroy my life
    (P)shall go down into (Q)the depths of the earth;
10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword;
    they shall be a portion for jackals.
11 But (R)the king shall rejoice in God;
    all who (S)swear by him shall exult,
    (T)for the mouths of (U)liars will be stopped.
