Psalms 63 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.
ℹ️ Some verses here have no matching verse in the public-domain translations (the Psalm superscriptions are not numbered verses in the CUV or the WEB). Those verses were translated by this site with AI (Claude), not taken from the WEB.

63:0
מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִ֑ד בִּ֝הְיוֹת֗וֹ בְּמִדְבַּ֥ר יְהוּדָֽה׃
ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ ἐν τῷ εἶναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τῆς Ιουδαίας
Psalmus David, cum esset in deserto Idumaeae.
—
A Psalm by David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
63:1
אֱלֹהִ֤ים׀ אֵלִ֥י אַתָּ֗ה אֲֽשַׁ֫חֲרֶ֥ךָּ צָמְאָ֬ה לְךָ֨׀ נַפְשִׁ֗י כָּמַ֣הּ לְךָ֣ בְשָׂרִ֑י בְּאֶרֶץ־צִיָּ֖ה וְעָיֵ֣ף בְּלִי־מָֽיִם׃
ὁ θεὸς ὁ θεός μου πρὸς σὲ ὀρθρίζω ἐδίψησέν σοι ἡ ψυχή μου ποσαπλῶς σοι ἡ σάρξ μου ἐν γῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἀβάτῳ καὶ ἀνύδρῳ
Deus, Deus meus, ad te de luce vigilo. Sitivit in te anima mea ; quam multipliciter tibi caro mea !
—
God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
63:2
כֵּ֭ן בַּקֹּ֣דֶשׁ חֲזִיתִ֑ךָ לִרְא֥וֹת עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ וּכְבוֹדֶֽךָ׃
οὕτως ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ ὤφθην σοι τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὴν δύναμίν σου καὶ τὴν δόξαν σου
In terra deserta, et invia, et inaquosa, sic in sancto apparui tibi, ut viderem virtutem tuam et gloriam tuam.
መዝሙር ፡ ዘዳዊት ፤ አመ ፡ ሀሎ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ገዳመ ፡ ኢዶምያስ ። አምላኪየ ፡ አምላኪየ ፡ እገይስ ፡ ኀቤከ ፤
So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
63:3
כִּי־ט֣וֹב חַ֭סְדְּךָ מֵחַיִּ֗ים שְׂפָתַ֥י יְשַׁבְּחֽוּנְךָ׃
ὅτι κρεῖσσον τὸ ἔλεός σου ὑπὲρ ζωάς τὰ χείλη μου ἐπαινέσουσίν σε
Quoniam melior est misericordia tua super vitas, labia mea laudabunt te.
ጸምአት ፡ ነፍስየ ፡ ለከ ፤ እፎ ፡ እስፋሕ ፡ ለከ ፡ ሥጋየ ፡
Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
63:4
כֵּ֣ן אֲבָרֶכְךָ֣ בְחַיָּ֑י בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ֗ אֶשָּׂ֥א כַפָּֽי׃
οὕτως εὐλογήσω σε ἐν τῇ ζωῇ μου ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἀρῶ τὰς χεῖράς μου
Sic benedicam te in vita mea, et in nomine tuo levabo manus meas.
በምደረ ፡ በድው ፡ ኀበ ፡ አልቦ ፡ ዕፀ ፡ ወማየ ። ከመዝ ፡ በመቅደስከ ፡ አስተርአይኩከ ፤ ከመ ፡ ኣእምር ፡ ኀይለከ ፡ ወስብሐቲከ ።
So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
63:5
כְּמ֤וֹ חֵ֣לֶב וָ֭דֶשֶׁן תִּשְׂבַּ֣ע נַפְשִׁ֑י וְשִׂפְתֵ֥י רְ֝נָנ֗וֹת יְהַלֶּל־פִּֽי׃
ὡσεὶ στέατος καὶ πιότητος ἐμπλησθείη ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ χείλη ἀγαλλιάσεως αἰνέσει τὸ στόμα μου
Sicut adipe et pinguedine repleatur anima mea, et labiis exsultationis laudabit os meum.
እስመ ፡ ይኄይስ ፡ እምሐይው ፡ ሣህልከ ፤ ከናፍሪየ ፡ ይሴብሓከ ።
My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
63:6
אִם־זְכַרְתִּ֥יךָ עַל־יְצוּעָ֑י בְּ֝אַשְׁמֻר֗וֹת אֶהְגֶּה־בָּֽךְ׃
εἰ ἐμνημόνευόν σου ἐπὶ τῆς στρωμνῆς μου ἐν τοῖς ὄρθροις ἐμελέτων εἰς σέ
Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutinis meditabor in te.
ከመዝ ፡ እባርከከ ፡ በሕይወትየ ፤ ወበስመ ፡ ዚአከ ፡ ኣነሥእ ፡ እደውየ ።
when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
63:7
כִּֽי־הָיִ֣יתָ עֶזְרָ֣תָה לִּ֑י וּבְצֵ֖ל כְּנָפֶ֣יךָ אֲרַנֵּֽן׃
ὅτι ἐγενήθης βοηθός μου καὶ ἐν τῇ σκέπῃ τῶν πτερύγων σου ἀγαλλιάσομαι
Quia fuisti adjutor meus, et in velamento alarum tuarum exsultabo.
ከመ ፡ ዘእምሥቡሕ ፡ ወእምአንጕዕ ፡ ጸግበት ፡ ነፍስይ ፤ ከናፍርየ ፡ ፍሡሓት ፡ ይሴብሓ ፡ ለስምከ ።
For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
63:8
דָּבְקָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֣י אַחֲרֶ֑יךָ בִּ֝֗י תָּמְכָ֥ה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃
ἐκολλήθη ἡ ψυχή μου ὀπίσω σου ἐμοῦ ἀντελάβετο ἡ δεξιά σου
Adhaesit anima mea post te ; me suscepit dextera tua.
ወበምስካብየኒ ፡ እዜክረከ ፤ ወጽባሕ ፡ ኣነብብ ፡ ለከ ። እስመ ፡ ኮንከኒ ፡ ረዳእየ ፤
My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
63:9
וְהֵ֗מָּה לְ֭שׁוֹאָה יְבַקְשׁ֣וּ נַפְשִׁ֑י יָ֝בֹ֗אוּ בְּֽתַחְתִּיּ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
αὐτοὶ δὲ εἰς μάτην ἐζήτησαν τὴν ψυχήν μου εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὰ κατώτατα τῆς γῆς
Ipsi vero in vanum quaesierunt animam meam : introibunt in inferiora terrae ;
ወእትዌከል ፡ በጽላሎተ ፡ ክነፊከ ። ተለወት ፡ ነፍስየ ፡ ድኅሬከ ፤ ሊተሰ ፡ ተወክፈተኒ ፡ የማንከ ።
But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
63:10
יַגִּירֻ֥הוּ עַל־יְדֵי־חָ֑רֶב מְנָ֖ת שֻׁעָלִ֣ים יִהְיֽוּ׃
παραδοθήσονται εἰς χεῖρας ῥομφαίας μερίδες ἀλωπέκων ἔσονται
tradentur in manus gladii : partes vulpium erunt.
እሙንቱሰ ፡ ለከንተ ፡ ኀሠሥዌ ፡ ለነፍስየ ፤ ለይባኡ ፡ ውስተ ፡ መዓምቅቲሃ ፡ ለምድር ። ወይግብኡ ፡ ውስተ ፡ እደ ፡ ሰይፍ ፤ ክፍለ ፡ ቈናጽል ፡ ለይኩኑ ።
They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
63:11
וְהַמֶּלֶךְ֮ יִשְׂמַ֢ח בֵּאלֹ֫הִ֥ים יִ֭תְהַלֵּל כׇּל־הַנִּשְׁבָּ֣ע בּ֑וֹ כִּ֥י יִ֝סָּכֵ֗ר פִּ֣י דוֹבְרֵי־שָֽׁקֶר׃ {פ}
ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς εὐφρανθήσεται ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ ἐπαινεσθήσεται πᾶς ὁ ὀμνύων ἐν αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐνεφράγη στόμα λαλούντων ἄδικα
Rex vero laetabitur in Deo ; laudabuntur omnes qui jurant in eo : quia obstructum est os loquentium iniqua.
ወንጉሥሰ ፡ ይትፌሣሕ ፡ በእግዚአብሔር ፤ ወይከብር ፡ ኵሉ ዘይምሕል ፡ ኪያሁ ። እስመ ፡ ይትፈፀም ፡ አፍ ፡ ዘይነብብ ፡ ዐመፃ ።
But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
