Psalm 63

Comfort and Assurance in God’s Presence

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.

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.
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
    beholding your power and glory.
Because your steadfast love is better than life,
    my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
    I will lift up my hands and call on your name.

My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast,[a]
    and my mouth praises you with joyful lips
when I think of you on my bed,
    and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
for you have been my help,
    and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
My soul clings to you;
    your right hand upholds me.

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.

  1. Psalm 63:5 Heb with fat and fatness

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。

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)
