Psalms

（大衛在猶大曠野的時候，作了這詩。）神啊，你是我的神，我要切切地尋求你，在乾旱疲乏無水之地，我渴想你；我的心切慕你。

[A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.] O God, thou {art} my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; {thirsty: Heb. weary} {where...: without water}

我在聖所中曾如此瞻仰你，為要見你的能力和你的榮耀。

To see thy power and thy glory, so {as} I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

因你的慈愛比生命更好，我的嘴唇要頌讚你。

Because thy lovingkindness {is} better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

我還活的時候要這樣稱頌你；我要奉你的名舉手。

Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

我在床上記念你，在夜更的時候思想你；我的心就像飽足了骨髓肥油，我也要以歡樂的嘴唇讚美你。

My soul shall be satisfied as {with} marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise {thee} with joyful lips: {marrow: Heb. fatness}

我心緊緊地跟隨你；你的右手扶持我。

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

但那些尋索要滅我命的人必往地底下去；

But those {that} seek my soul, to destroy {it}, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

他們必被刀劍所殺，被野狗所吃。

They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes. {They shall fall...: Heb. They shall make him run out like water by the hands of}

但是王必因神歡喜。凡指著他發誓的必要誇口，因為說謊之人的口必被塞住。
