Psalmi 63

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In finem. Psalmus David.	1 A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
2 Exaudi, Deus, orationem meam cum deprecor ; a timore inimici eripe animam meam.	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 Protexisti me a conventu malignantium, a multitudine operantium iniquitatem.	3 So I look to you in the sanctuary to see your power and glory.
4 Quia exacuerunt ut gladium linguas suas ; intenderunt arcum rem amaram,	4 For your love is better than life; my lips offer you worship!
5 ut sagittent in occultis immaculatum.	5 I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands, calling on your name.
6 Subito sagittabunt eum, et non timebunt ; firmaverunt sibi sermonem nequam. Narraverunt ut absconderent laqueos ; dixerunt : Quis videbit eos ?	6 My soul shall savor the rich banquet of praise, with joyous lips my mouth shall honor you!
7 Scrutati sunt iniquitates ; defecerunt scrutantes scrutinio. Accedet homo ad cor altum,	7 When I think of you upon my bed, through the night watches I will recall
8 et exaltabitur Deus. Sagittæ parvulorum factæ sunt plagæ eorum,	8 That you indeed are my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy.
9 et infirmatæ sunt contra eos linguæ eorum. Conturbati sunt omnes qui videbant eos,	9 My soul clings fast to you; your right hand upholds me.
10 et timuit omnis homo. Et annuntiaverunt opera Dei, et facta ejus intellexerunt.	10 But those who seek my life will come to ruin; they shall go down to the depths of the earth!
11 Lætabitur justus in Domino, et sperabit in eo, et laudabuntur omnes recti corde.	11 They shall be handed over to the sword and become the prey of jackals!
	12 But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by the Lord shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut!
