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.

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.
