Psalms 63
Below each verse in the original comes an approximate reading, in italics, for anyone who wants to pronounce the text aloud. It is not academic transliteration: it does not mark stress or settle the cases that depend on grammatical analysis, and the four-letter Name is read “Yahweh”, by the founder’s decision — the Hebrew pointing instructs saying “Adonai”, and Portuguese Bibles render it “SENHOR”.
The numbering differs in this chapter. The original has a different number of verses from the Portuguese — this happens in 134 of the 1,189 chapters, mostly in the Psalms, because the Hebrew superscription (“A psalm of David”) is counted as verse 1. That is why the two texts appear separately, each with its own numbering, instead of paired: pairing here would put a verse next to the wrong one.
1Salmo de Davi, quando ele estava no deserto de Judá: Deus, tu [és] meu Deus. Eu te busco ao amanhecer; minha alma tem sede de ti, minha carne muito te deseja, em terra seca, cansativa, sem águas.
2Para que eu te veja em teu santuário, para ver tua força e tua glória.
3Porque tua bondade [é] melhor que a vida; meus lábios te louvarão.
4Assim te bendirei em minha vida; por teu nome levantarei minhas mãos.
5Minha alma será saciada, como que de gorduras e muita comida; e minha boca te louvará com lábios alegres,
6Quando eu me lembrar de ti em minha cama; nas vigílias da noite meus pensamentos estarão em ti.
7Porque tu tens sido meu socorro; e à sombra de tuas asas cantarei de alegria.
8Minha alma está apegada a ti; tua mão direita me sustenta.
9Porém aqueles que procuram assolar a minha alma irão para as profundezas da terra.
10Eles serão derrubados pela força da espada; serão repartidos entre raposas.
11Mas o Rei se alegrará em Deus; todo o que por ele jurar se alegrará, porque a boca dos mentirosos será tapada.
