Psalm 63
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
Psalm 63
Comfort and Assurance in God’s Presence
A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.
1 O God, you are my God, I seek you,
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
3 Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless you as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands and call on your name.
5 My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast,[a]
and my mouth praises you with joyful lips
6 when I think of you on my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
7 for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
8 My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.
9 But those who seek to destroy my life
shall go down into the depths of the earth;
10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword,
they shall be prey for jackals.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God;
all who swear by him shall exult,
for the mouths of liars will be stopped.

詩篇 63
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
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!
2 我曾在你的聖所瞻仰你的榮面,
目睹你的權能和榮耀。
3 你的慈愛比生命更寶貴,
我的嘴唇要讚美你。
4 我一生都要讚美你,
奉你的名舉手禱告。
5 我心滿意足,如享盛宴,
唱起歡快的歌讚美你。
6 我躺在床上的時候思念你,
整夜地思想你。
7 因為你是我的幫助,
我在你翅膀的蔭庇下歡歌。
8 我的心依戀你,
你的右手扶持我。
9 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。
