Psalm 63 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Længsel efter Herren

1 En sang af David, da han opholdt sig i Judæas ødemark.

2 Gud, du er min Gud, og jeg opsøger dig. Min sjæl tørster efter fællesskab med dig. Hele min krop sukker efter et møde med dig i dette afsvedne og tørre land.

3 Jeg har oplevet din nærhed i helligdommen, jeg har set din magt og herlighed.

4 At opleve din godhed er mere værd end livet. Derfor vil jeg altid lovsynge dig.

5 Jeg vil takke dig, så længe jeg lever, løfte mine hænder i tilbedelse til dig.

6 Du mætter min sjæl med udsøgte retter, jeg lovsynger dig med fryd i hjertet.

7 Når jeg ligger i min seng, mindes jeg din storhed, jeg tænker på din nåde, når jeg vågner om natten.

8 Jeg husker, hvor ofte du har hjulpet mig, jeg fryder mig under dine vingers skygge.

9 Jeg klynger mig til dig, og du holder mig i dine stærke arme.

10 Mine fjender prøver at dræbe mig, men de skal styrtes i dødsriget.

11 De skal falde for sværdet og blive føde for sjakaler.

12 Men jeg vil glæde mig over min Gud. Enhver, der stoler på ham, har grund til at juble, men de falske bedragere må forblive tavse.

My Soul Thirsts for You

1 A 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.

2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.

3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.

4 So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.

5 My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,

6 when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

7 for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

9 But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth;

10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
