Psalms 63

1 A Psalme of David. When he was in the wildernesse of Judah. O God, thou art my God, earely will I seeke thee: my soule thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and drye land without water.

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.

2 Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.

So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

3 For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.

Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

4 Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.

So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.

5 My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,

My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

6 When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.

When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.

7 Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.

For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

8 My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.

My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

9 Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.

But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.

10 They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.

They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.

11 But the King shall reioyce in God, and all that sweare by him shall reioyce in him: for the mouth of them that speake lyes, shall be stopped.

But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
