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

1 God, you are my God.

I will earnestly seek you.

My soul thirsts for you.

My flesh longs for you,

in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary,

watching your power and your glory.

3 Because your loving kindness is better than life,

my lips shall praise you.

4 So I will bless you while I live.

I will lift up my hands in your name.

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food.

My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

6 when I remember you on my bed,

and think about you in the night watches.

7 For you have been my help.

I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

8 My soul stays close to you.

Your right hand holds me up.

9 But those who seek my soul to destroy it

shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword.

They shall be jackal food.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God.

Everyone who swears by him will praise him,

for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.

1 神啊! 你是我的 神, 我要切切寻求你; 在干旱、疲乏、无水之地, 我的心, 我的身, 都渴想你, 切慕你。

2 因此, 我在圣所中瞻仰你, 为要见你的能力和荣耀。

3 因你的慈爱比生命更好, 我的嘴唇要颂赞你。

4 我要一生称颂你, 我要奉你的名举手祷告。

5 我的心满足, 就像饱享了骨髓肥油; 我要用欢乐的嘴唇赞美你。

6 我在床上记念你, 我整夜默想你。

7 因为你帮助了我, 我要在你翅膀的荫下欢呼。

8 我心紧紧追随你; 你的右手扶持我。

9 但那些寻索我、要杀我的人, 必下到地的深处。

10 他们必交在刀剑之下, 成了野狗的食物。

11 但王必因 神欢喜; 所有指着 神起誓的, 都必可以夸耀; 说谎的人的口却必被塞住。
