Psalms 63

1 “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 land, and it is faint without water.

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 As I have beheld thee in the sanctuary, seeing thy strength and thy glory;

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

3 Because thy kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee:

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

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

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

5 As with fat and marrow will my soul be satisfied; and with tuneful lips shall my mouth praise thee.

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

6 When I remember thee upon my couch, I meditate on thee in the night-watches.

When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.

7 Because thou hast been a help unto me; and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing rejoicingly.

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

8 My soul cleaveth unto following thee: me thy right hand upholdeth.

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

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go down into the lowest deeps of 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 become a prey for jackals.

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 sweareth by him shall glorify himself; for the mouth of those that speak falsehood shall be 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.
