Psalms 63

1 A PSALM OF DAVID, IN HIS BEING IN THE WILDERNESS OF JUDAH. O God, You [are] my God, earnestly I seek You, My soul has thirsted for You, My flesh has longed for You, In a dry and weary land, without waters.

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 So I have seen You in the sanctuary, To behold Your strength and Your glory.

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

3 Because better [is] Your kindness than life, My lips praise You.

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

4 So I bless You in my life, I lift up my hands in Your Name.

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

5 As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips my mouth praises.

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

6 If I have remembered You on my bed, I meditate on You in the watches.

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

7 For You have been a help to me, And I sing in the shadow of Your wings.

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

8 My soul has cleaved after You, Your right hand has taken hold on me.

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

9 And they who seek my soul for desolation, Go into the lower parts of the earth.

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

10 They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, They are a portion for foxes.

They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.

11 And the king rejoices in God, Everyone swearing by Him boasts, But the mouth of those speaking lies is 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.
