Psalms 63
63
Psalm 63#In Hebrew texts 63:1-11 is numbered 63:2-12.
A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.
1You, 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.
2I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
3Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
4I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
7Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me.
9Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;
they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10They will be given over to the sword
and become food for jackals.
11But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God will glory in him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.

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 thirsts for thee; my flesh longs for thee in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water;
2in this manner I beheld thee in holiness when I beheld thy power and thy glory.
3¶ Because thy mercy is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4Thus will I bless thee in my life; in thy name shall I lift up my hands.
5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips
6When 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.
8My soul has followed hard after thee; thy right hand has upheld me.
9But those that sought my soul, to destroy it, descended into the lower parts of the earth.
10They shall be slain by the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes.
11But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of those that speak lies shall be stopped.
