Psalm 63
A Psalm of
David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
1 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;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen
thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my
lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift
up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and
fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful
lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on
thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the
shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand
upholdeth me.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall
go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a
portion for foxes.
11 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.
