Psalms 63

يَا اَللهُ، إِلهِي أَنْتَ. إِلَيْكَ أُبَكِّرُ. عَطِشَتْ إِلَيْكَ نَفْسِي، يَشْتَاقُ إِلَيْكَ جَسَدِي فِي أَرْضٍ نَاشِفَةٍ وَيَابِسَةٍ بِلاَ مَاءٍ،

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;

لِكَيْ أُبْصِرَ قُوَّتَكَ وَمَجْدَكَ. كَمَا قَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ فِي قُدْسِكَ.

To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْحَيَاةِ. شَفَتَايَ تُسَبِّحَانِكَ.

Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

هكَذَا أُبَارِكُكَ فِي حَيَاتِي. بِاسْمِكَ أَرْفَعُ يَدَيَّ.

Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

كَمَا مِنْ شَحْمٍ وَدَسَمٍ تَشْبَعُ نَفْسِي، وَبِشَفَتَيْ الابْتِهَاجِ يُسَبِّحُكَ فَمِي.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

إِذَا ذَكَرْتُكَ عَلَى فِرَاشِي، فِي السُّهْدِ أَلْهَجُ بِكَ،

When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

لأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ عَوْنًا لِي، وَبِظِلِّ جَنَاحَيْكَ أَبْتَهِجُ.

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

اِلْتَصَقَتْ نَفْسِي بِكَ. يَمِينُكَ تَعْضُدُنِي.

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

أَمَّا الَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلتَّهْلُكَةِ يَطْلُبُونَ نَفْسِي، فَيَدْخُلُونَ فِي أَسَافِلِ الأَرْضِ.

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

يُدْفَعُونَ إِلَى يَدَيِ السَّيْفِ. يَكُونُونَ نَصِيبًا لِبَنَاتِ آوَى.

They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

أَمَّا الْمَلِكُ فَيَفْرَحُ بِاللهِ. يَفْتَخِرُ كُلُّ مَنْ يَحْلِفُ بِهِ، لأَنَّ أَفْوَاهَ الْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ بِالْكَذِبِ تُسَدُّ.

But 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.
