Psalms 63
63
You Are My God
1A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
2O God, You are my God, earnestly I seek You. My soul thirsts for You. My flesh longs for You in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
3So, I looked for You in the Sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory.
4Since Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You.
5So I will bless You as long as I live. In Your name I lift up my hands.
6My soul is satisfied as with fat and oil, so my mouth praises You with joyful lips.
7When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You through the night watches.
8For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
9My soul clings to You— Your right hand upholds me.
10But those who seek my soul to destroy it will go down to the depths of the earth.
11They will be gutted by the sword, and become a prey for jackals.
12But the king will rejoice in God. All who swear by Him will boast, when the mouth speaking lies is shut.

Psalm 63
A psalm by David when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
1O God, you are my God.
At dawn I search for you.
My soul thirsts for you.
My body longs for you
in a dry, parched land where there is no water.
2So I look for you in the holy place
to see your power and your glory.
3My lips will praise you
because your mercy is better than life ⌞itself⌟.
4So I will thank you as long as I live.
I will lift up my hands ⌞to pray⌟ in your name.
5You satisfy my soul with the richest foods.
My mouth will sing ⌞your⌟ praise with joyful lips.
6As I lie on my bed, I remember you.
Through the long hours of the night, I think about you.
7You have been my help.
In the shadow of your wings, I sing joyfully.
8My soul clings to you.
Your right hand supports me.
9But those who try to destroy my life
will go into the depths of the earth.
10They will be cut down by swords.
Their dead bodies will be left as food for jackals.
11But the king will find joy in God.
Everyone who takes an oath by God will brag,
but the mouths of liars will be shut.
