Psalms 63
1 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!
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.
2 Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory.
Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
3 For your mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise you.
For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
4 Thus will I bless you during my life: I will lift up my hands in your name.
Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
5 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise your name.
My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
6 Forasmuch as I have remembered you on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on you.
When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
7 For you have been my helper, and in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.
Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
8 My soul has kept very close behind you: your right hand has upheld me.
My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
9 But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.
Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
10 They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.
They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 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.
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.
