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 weary land, where no water is.

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

So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, to see thy power and thy glory.

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

For 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.

So 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.

For thou hast been my help, and 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 be given over to the power of 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; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
