1Salmo di Davide, quando era nel deserto di Giuda. O Dio, tu sei il mio Dio, io ti cerco dall’alba; di te è assetata l’anima mia, a te anela il mio corpo languente in arida terra, senz’acqua.2Così ti ho contemplato nel santuario, per vedere la tua forza e la tua gloria.3Poiché la tua bontà vale più della vita, le mie labbra ti loderanno.4Così ti benedirò finché io viva, e alzerò le mani invocando il tuo nome.5L’anima mia sarà saziata come di midollo e di grasso, e la mia bocca ti loderà con labbra gioiose.6Di te mi ricordo nel mio letto, a te penso nelle veglie notturne.7Poiché tu sei stato il mio aiuto, io esulto all’ombra delle tue ali.8L’anima mia si lega a te per seguirti; la tua destra mi sostiene.9Ma quanti cercano la rovina dell’anima mia, sprofonderanno nelle parti più basse della terra.10Saranno dati in balìa della spada, saranno preda di sciacalli.11Ma il re si rallegrerà in Dio; chiunque giura per lui si glorierà, perché ai bugiardi verrà chiusa la bocca.
1Ein Psalm. Von David. Als er in der Wüste Juda war. (1Sam 26,3)2Gott, mein Gott bist du; nach dir suche ich. Es dürstet nach dir meine Seele, nach dir schmachtet mein Fleisch in einem dürren und erschöpften Land ohne Wasser. (Sal 5,4; Sal 43,4; Ger 31,14)3So schaue ich im Heiligtum nach dir, um deine Macht und deine Herrlichkeit zu sehen. (Sal 42,2; Sal 68,25)4Denn deine Gnade ist besser als Leben; meine Lippen werden dich rühmen.5So werde ich dich preisen während meines Lebens, meine Hände in deinem Namen aufheben. (Sal 96,6)6Wie von Mark und Fett wird meine Seele gesättigt werden, und mit jubelnden Lippen wird mein Mund loben, (Sal 104,33)7wenn ich deiner gedenke auf meinem Lager, über dich nachdenke in den Nachtwachen.8Denn du bist mir zur Hilfe geworden, und im Schatten deiner Flügel kann ich jubeln.9Meine Seele hängt an dir[1], deine Rechte hält mich aufrecht. (Sal 18,36; 1Co 6,17)10Jene aber, die ⟨mir⟩ zum Verderben[2] nach meinem Leben trachten, werden in die Tiefen der Erde hinsinken.11Man wird sie[3] der Gewalt des Schwertes preisgeben, der Anteil der Schakale werden sie sein. (Sal 44,20; Ger 18,21)12Und der König wird sich freuen in Gott; jeder darf sich rühmen, der bei ihm schwört; denn der Mund der Lügenredner wird verstopft werden. (De 6,13; Sal 31,19)
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
1O 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. (Sal 78,34; Sal 84,2; Sal 143,6; Is 26,9; Is 32,2)2So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. (Sal 27,4; Sal 78,61)3Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. (Sal 69,16)4So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. (Sal 20,1; Sal 20,5; Sal 28,2; Sal 104,33; Sal 146,2)5My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, (Sal 36,8)6when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; (Sal 42,8)7for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. (Sal 17,8)8My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. (Nu 14,24; Sal 41,12)9But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth; (Sal 9,17; Sal 55,15; Ez 26,20; Ez 31,14; Ef 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. (De 6,13; Giob 5,16; Sal 38,12; Sal 41,5; Sal 61,6; Sal 107,42; Is 45,23; Is 65,16; Ro 3,19)
Salmo 63
King James Version
1A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;2To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.3Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.4Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:6When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.7Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.8My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.9But those that seek my soul, to destroy it , shall go into the lower parts of the earth.10They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.11But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
