| 1 | A psalme of Dauid when he was in the wyldernesse of Iuda. O Lorde thou art my Lorde: early in the morning I do seeke thee. (63:2) My soule thirsteth for thee: my fleshe also longeth after thee in a baren and drye lande where no water is. | 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. | A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah. You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. | |
| 2 | (63:3) To see thee euen so as I haue seene thee in the sanctuary: that I might beholde thy power and glory. | So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. | I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. | |
| 3 | (63:4) For thy louing kindnes is better then life itselfe : my lippes shall prayse thee. | Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. | Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. | |
| 4 | (63:5) As long as I liue I wyll blesse thee on this maner: and in thy name I wyll lyft vp my handes. | So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. | I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. | |
| 5 | (63:6) My soule is satisfied euen as it were with mary and fatnes: and my mouth prayseth thee with ioyfull lippes. | My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, | I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you. | |
| 6 | (63:7) Haue I not remembred thee in my bed: and thought vpon thee when I was waking? | when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; | On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. | |
| 7 | (63:8) Because thou hast ben my helper: therfore vnder the shadowe of thy wynges do I reioyce. | for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. | Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. | |
| 8 | (63:9) My soule cleaueth fast vnto thee: thy right hande hath vpholden me. | My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. | I cling to you; your right hand upholds me. | |
| 9 | (63:10) And they that seeke my soule to oppresse it : shall go vnder the earth. | But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth; | Those who want to kill me will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth. | |
| 10 | (63:11) Euery one of them shalbe killed with the edge of a sworde: and they shalbe a portion for Foxes. | they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals. | They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals. | |
| 11 | (63:12) But the king shal reioyce in the Lord, al they shal glory that sweare by him: for the mouth of all them that speake a lye, shalbe stopped. | But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped. | But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God will glory in him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced. | |
