Psalms 63

63
PSALM 63
The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.
A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
1O God, You are my God; with deepest longing I will seek You;
My #See note 42:1.soul [my life, my very self] thirsts for You, my flesh longs and sighs for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2So I have gazed upon You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
3Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
4So will I bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5My #See note 42:1.soul [my life, my very self] is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises [to You] with joyful lips.
6When I remember You on my bed,
I meditate and thoughtfully focus on You in the night watches,
7For You have been my help,
And in the shadow of Your wings [where I am always protected] I sing for joy.
8My #See note 42:1.soul [my life, my very self] clings to You;
Your right hand upholds me.
9But those who seek my life to destroy it
Will [be destroyed and] go into the depths of the earth [into the underworld].
10They will be given over to the power of the sword;
They will be a prey for foxes.
11But the king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him [honoring the true God, acknowledging His authority and majesty] will glory,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
