¹大卫的诗，是他在犹大旷野时作的。　神啊！你是我的　神，我要切切寻求你；在干旱、疲乏、无水之地，我的心，我的身，都渴想你，切慕你。

¹A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou [art] my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.

²因此，我在圣所中瞻仰你，为要见你的能力和荣耀。

²So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.

³因你的慈爱比生命更好，我的嘴唇要颂赞你。

³Because better [is] Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.

⁴我要一生称颂你，我要奉你的名举手祷告。

⁴So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.

⁵我的心满足，就像饱享了骨髓肥油；我要用欢乐的嘴唇赞美你。

⁵As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips doth my mouth praise.

⁶我在床上记念你，我整夜默想你。

⁶If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches — I meditate on Thee.

⁷因为你帮助了我，我要在你翅膀的荫下欢呼。

⁷For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.

⁸我心紧紧追随你；你的右手扶持我。

⁸Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.

⁹但那些寻索我、要杀我的人，必下到地的深处。

⁹And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.

¹⁰他们必交在刀剑之下，成了野狗的食物。

¹⁰They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.

¹¹但王必因　神欢喜；所有指着　神起誓的，都必可以夸耀；说谎的人的口却必被塞住。

¹¹And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking lies!
