Psalms 63
1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.
A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O 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.
2 So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.
So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.
3 Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.
Because better [is] Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.
4 So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.
So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.
5 My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.
As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips doth my mouth praise.
6 When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.
If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches — I meditate on Thee.
7 For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.
For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.
8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.
9 But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.
And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.
10 They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.
They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.
11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking lies!
