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
63
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
2 Hear, O God, my prayer of supplication. Rescue my soul from the fear of the enemy.
3 You have protected me from the assembly of the malignant, from a multitude of workers of iniquity.
4 For they have sharpened their tongues like a sword; they have formed their bow into a bitter thing,
5 so that they may shoot arrows from hiding at the immaculate.
6 They will suddenly shoot arrows at him, and they will not be afraid. They are resolute in their wicked talk. They have discussed hidden snares. They have said, "Who will see them?"
7 They have been searching carefully for iniquities. Their exhaustive search has failed. Man will approach with a deep heart,
8 and God will be exalted. The arrows of the little ones have become their wounds,
9 and their tongues have been weakened against them. All those who saw them have been troubled;
10 and every man was afraid. And they announced the works of God, and they understood his acts.
11 The just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him. And all the upright of heart will be praised.
