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.

Tehillim 63
63
1(Mizmor Dovid. When he was in the midbar Yehudah)
2 O Elohim,
Thou art Eli;
early will I seek Thee;
my nefesh thirsteth for Thee;
my basar longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land,
where no mayim is,
3 To see Thy oz (might, power) and Thy kavod,
as I have beheld Thee in the Kodesh (holy place, sanctuary, Mikdash).
4 Because Thy chesed is better than chayyim,
my lips shall praise Thee.
5 Thus will I bless Thee while I live;
I will lift up my hands b'Shimcha (in Thy Name.)
6 My nefesh shall be satisfied as with chelev (fat) and deshen (abundance);
and my mouth shall praise Thee with lips of joyful singing;
7 When I remember Thee upon my bed,
and meditate on Thee in the ashmurot (night watches).
8 Because Thou hast been my help,
therefore in the tzel (shadow) of Thy wings will I sing with joy.
9 My nefesh followeth hard after Thee;
Thy Yamin (Right Hand) upholdeth me.
10 But those that seek my nefesh, to destroy it,
shall go into the abysses of ha'aretz.
11 They deliver him into the power of the cherev;
they shall be a portion for jackals.
12 But HaMelech shall rejoice in Elohim;
every one that sweareth by Him shall glory;
but the mouth of them that speak sheker shall be stopped.
