63:1 [A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah]. O God, Thou art my God; I shall seek Thee earnestly; My soul thirsts for Thee, my flesh yearns for Thee, In a dry and weary land where there is no water. 63:2 Thus I have beheld Thee in the sanctuary, To see Thy power and Thy glory. 63:3 Because Thy lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise Thee. 63:4 So I will bless Thee as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Thy name. 63:5 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips. 63:6 When I remember Thee on my bed, I meditate on Thee in the night watches, 63:7 For Thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing for joy. 63:8 My soul clings to Thee; Thy right hand upholds me. 63:9 But those who seek my life, to destroy it, Will go into the depths of the earth. 63:10 They will be delivered over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey for foxes. 63:11 But the king will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him will glory, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped. 63:12
