Salmo de David, cuando estaba en el desierto de Judá.
1Oh Dios, tú eres mi Dios; yo te busco intensamente. Mi alma tiene sed de ti; todo mi ser te anhela, cual tierra seca, extenuada y sedienta.2Te he visto en el santuario y he contemplado tu poder y tu gloria.3Tu amor es mejor que la vida; por eso mis labios te alabarán.4Te bendeciré mientras viva, y alzando mis manos te invocaré.5Mi alma quedará satisfecha como de un suculento banquete, y con labios jubilosos te alabará mi boca.6En mi lecho me acuerdo de ti; pienso en ti toda la noche.7A la sombra de tus alas cantaré, porque tú eres mi ayuda.8Mi alma se aferra a ti; tu mano derecha me sostiene.9Los que buscan mi muerte serán destruidos; bajarán a las profundidades de la tierra.10Serán entregados a la espada y acabarán devorados por los chacales.11El rey se regocijará en Dios; todos los que invocan a Dios lo alabarán, pero los mentirosos serán silenciados.
Psalm 63
English Standard Version
My Soul Thirsts for You
1A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. (2Sam 16,14; 2Sam 17,2; 2Sam 17,29; Ps 78,34; Ps 84,2; Ps 143,6; Jes 26,9; Jes 32,2)2So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. (Ps 27,4; Ps 78,61)3Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. (Ps 69,16)4So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. (Ps 20,1; Ps 20,5; Ps 28,2; Ps 104,33; Ps 146,2)5My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, (Ps 36,8)6when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; (Ps 42,8)7for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. (Ps 17,8)8My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. (4Mo 14,24; Ps 41,12)9But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth; (Ps 9,17; Ps 55,15; Hes 26,20; Hes 31,14; Eph 4,9)10they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals.11But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped. (5Mo 6,13; Hi 5,16; Ps 38,12; Ps 41,5; Ps 61,6; Ps 107,42; Jes 45,23; Jes 65,16; Röm 3,19)
