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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10 They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, They are 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!
