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 desert of Idumea. O God, my God: to you, I keep vigil until first light. For you, my soul has thirsted, to you my body, in so many ways.
2 Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
By a deserted land, both inaccessible and waterless, so I have appeared in the sanctuary before you, in order to behold your virtue 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 itself. It is you my lips will praise.
4 Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
So will I bless you in my life, and 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 if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips.
6 When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
When I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate 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 I will exult under the cover of your wings.
8 My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me.
9 Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into the lower parts 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 be delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of 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.
Truly, the king will rejoice in God: all those who swear by him will be praised, because the mouth of those who speak iniquity has been blocked.
