Salmi 63

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Psalmus. David, cum in deserto Iudae commoraretur.	1 A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
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,	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.
3 sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam.	3 So I look to you in the sanctuary to see your power and glory.
4 Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas, labia mea laudabunt te.	4 For your love is better than life; my lips offer you worship!
5 Sic benedicam te in vita mea et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.	5 I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands, calling on your name.
6 Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea, et labiis exsultationis laudabit os meum.	6 My soul shall savor the rich banquet of praise, with joyous lips my mouth shall honor you!
7 Cum memor ero tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor de te,	7 When I think of you upon my bed, through the night watches I will recall
8 quia fuisti adiutor meus, et in velamento alarum tuarum exsultabo.	8 That you indeed are my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy.
9 Adhaesit anima mea post te, me suscepit dextera tua.	9 My soul clings fast to you; your right hand upholds me.
10 Ipsi vero in ruinam quaesierunt animam meam, introibunt in inferiora terrae,	10 But those who seek my life will come to ruin; they shall go down to the depths of the earth!
11 tradentur in potestatem gladii, partes vulpium erunt.	11 They shall be handed over to the sword and become the prey of jackals!
12 Rex vero laetabitur in Deo; gloriabuntur omnes, qui iurant in eo, quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.	12 But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by the Lord shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut!
