1God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
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。
2So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
2因此，我在圣所中瞻仰你，为要见你的能力和荣耀。
3Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
3因你的慈爱比生命更好，我的嘴唇要颂赞你。
4So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
4我要一生称颂你，我要奉你的名举手祷告。
5My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
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。
6when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
6我在床上记念你，我整夜默想你。
7For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
7因为你帮助了我，我要在你翅膀的荫下欢呼。
8My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
8我心紧紧追随你；你的右手扶持我。
9But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
9但那些寻索我、要杀我的人，必下到地的深处。
10They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
10他们必交在刀剑之下，成了野狗的食物。
11But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
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。
