Psalm 63
Längtan efter Gud och förtröstan på honom
1 En psalm av David när han var i Juda öken.
2 Gud, du är min Gud,
tidigt om morgonen söker jag dig.
Min själ törstar efter dig,
min kropp längtar efter dig
i ett torrt land som försmäktar utan vatten.
3 Jag söker dig i helgedomen
för att se din makt och härlighet.
4 Ty din nåd är bättre än liv,
mina läppar skall prisa dig.
5 Jag skall lova dig så länge jag lever,
i ditt namn skall jag lyfta mina händer.
6 Min själ blir mättad av utsökta rätter.
Med jublande läppar lovsjunger min mun,
7 när jag kommer ihåg dig på min bädd
och tänker på dig under nattens timmar.
8 Ty du är min hjälp,
under dina vingars skugga jublar jag.
9 Min själ håller sig till dig,
din högra hand uppehåller mig.
10 Men dessa som står efter mitt liv
och vill förgöra det,
de skall fara ner i jordens djup.
11 De skall överlämnas åt svärdet,
de skall bli schakalers byte.
12 Men kungen skall glädja sig i Gud.
Var och en som svär vid honom skall prisa sig lycklig,
ty de lögnaktigas mun skall bli tillstoppad.

Longing for God
A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.[a]
63 O God, you are my God;
I will seek you diligently.
My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you
as in a dry and weary land without water.
2 Thus I have seen you in the sanctuary,
beholding your strength and glory.
3 Because your loyal love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless you while I live.
I will lift up my hands[b] in your name.
5 My soul will be satisfied as with the best and richest food,
and with joyful lips my mouth will praise.
6 When I remember you on my bed,
I meditate on you in the night watches.
7 Because you have been my help,
therefore[c] in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
8 My soul clings to[d] you;
your right hand upholds me.
9 But as for them who seek my life for ruin,
they will go into the depths of the earth.
10 They who would deliver him to the sword[e]
will become a portion for jackals.
11 However, the king will rejoice in God.
Everyone who swears an oath by him will boast,
because the mouth of the liars will be stopped.
