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.
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. (Nm 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. (Dt 6:13; Job 5:16; Sal 38:12; Sal 41:5; Sal 61:6; Sal 107:42; Is 45:23; Is 65:16; Ro 3:19)
