Psalms 63

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.	1 Psalmus. David, cum in deserto Iudae commoraretur.
2 O God, you are my God-- for you I long! For you my body yearns; for you my soul thirsts, Like a land parched, lifeless, and without water.	2 Deus, Deus meus es tu, ad te de luce vigilo. Sitivit in te anima mea, te desideravit caro mea. In terra deserta et arida et inaquosa,
3 So I look to you in the sanctuary to see your power and glory.	3 sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam.
4 For your love is better than life; my lips offer you worship!	4 Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas, labia mea laudabunt te.
5 I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands, calling on your name.	5 Sic benedicam te in vita mea et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.
6 My soul shall savor the rich banquet of praise, with joyous lips my mouth shall honor you!	6 Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea, et labiis exsultationis laudabit os meum.
7 When I think of you upon my bed, through the night watches I will recall	7 Cum memor ero tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor de te,
8 That you indeed are my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy.	8 quia fuisti adiutor meus, et in velamento alarum tuarum exsultabo.
9 My soul clings fast to you; your right hand upholds me.	9 Adhaesit anima mea post te, me suscepit dextera tua.
10 But those who seek my life will come to ruin; they shall go down to the depths of the earth!	10 Ipsi vero in ruinam quaesierunt animam meam, introibunt in inferiora terrae,
11 They shall be handed over to the sword and become the prey of jackals!	11 tradentur in potestatem gladii, partes vulpium erunt.
12 But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by the Lord shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut!	12 Rex vero laetabitur in Deo; gloriabuntur omnes, qui iurant in eo, quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.
