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 Edom. O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
2 Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
3 For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.
4 Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
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 mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
6 When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
7 Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
8 My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
9 Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go 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 shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall 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.
But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
