PSALMS 诗篇063

PSALM¹ 63
1O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2I have seen you in the sanctuary² and beheld³ your power and your glory.
3Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify⁴ you.
4I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
7Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
9They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.
11But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God's name will praise him, while the mouths of liars⁵ will be silenced.
