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 Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to you early; my soul has thirsted for you: how often has my flesh [longed] after you, in a barren and trackless and dry land!
2 Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.
3 For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.
4 Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
Thus will I bless you during my life: I will lift up my hands in your name.
5 My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise your name.
6 When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
Forasmuch as I have remembered you on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on you.
7 Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
For you have been my helper, and in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.
8 My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
My soul has kept very close behind you: your right hand has upheld me.
9 Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.
10 They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.
They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions 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 shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
