Psalms 63
63
A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah.
1O God, Thou [art] my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.
2So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.
3Because better [is] Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.
4So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.
5As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips doth my mouth praise.
6If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches — I meditate on Thee.
7For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.
8Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.
9And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.
10They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.
11And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking lies!

Psalms 63

PSALM 63
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
1Lord, thee my God, I'll early seek:
my soul doth thirst for thee;
My flesh longs in a dry parch'd land,
wherein no waters be:
2That I thy power may behold,
and brightness of thy face,
As I have seen thee heretofore
within thy holy place.
3Since better is thy love than life,
my lips thee praise shall give.
4I in thy name will lift my hands,
and bless thee while I live.
5Ev'n as with marrow and with fat
my soul shall filled be;
Then shall my mouth with joyful lips
sing praises unto thee:
6When I do thee upon my bed
remember with delight,
And when on thee I meditate
in watches of the night.
7In shadow of thy wings I'll joy;
for thou mine help hast been.
8My soul thee follows hard; and me
thy right hand doth sustain.
9Who seek my soul to spill shall sink
down to earth's lowest room.
10They by the sword shall be cut off,
and foxes' prey become.
11Yet shall the king in God rejoice,
and each one glory shall
That swear by him: but stopp'd shall be
the mouth of liars all.
