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。

Praise God Who Satisfies

A psalm of David. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah.(A)

63 God, you are my God; I eagerly seek you.
I thirst for you;
my body faints for you
in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.(B)
So I gaze on you in the sanctuary
to see your strength and your glory.(C)

My lips will glorify you
because your faithful love is better than life.(D)
So I will bless you as long as I live;
at your name, I will lift up my hands.(E)
You satisfy me as with rich food;[a](F)
my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.(G)

When I think of you as I lie on my bed,
I meditate on you during the night watches(H)
because you are my helper;(I)
I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.(J)
I follow close to you;
your right hand holds on to me.(K)

But those who intend to destroy my life
will go into the depths of the earth.(L)
10 They will be given over to the power of the sword;(M)
they will become a meal for jackals.
11 But the king will rejoice in God;(N)
all who swear by him will boast,
for the mouths of liars will be shut.(O)
