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, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

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

To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

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

Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

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

Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

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

My soul shall be satisfied 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.

When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the [night] watches.

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

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

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

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

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

But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it], 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 fall by the sword: they shall be 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 shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
