< Psalms 63 >
1 A psalm of David when was he in [the] wilderness of Judah. O God - [are] God my you I am seeking earnestly you it is thirsty for you - self my it longs for you flesh my in a land dry and weary not water.
A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, my God, you, you do I seek: my heart thirsts for you, my body faints for you in a parched and waterless land.
2 Thus in the sanctuary I have seen you to see strength your and glory your.
As I in the temple have seen you, beholding your power and your glory,
3 For [is] good covenant loyalty your more than life lips my they will extol you.
for better than life is your kindness: my lips shall utter your praise.
4 Thus I will bless you in life my in name your I will lift up hands my.
So, while I live, I will bless you, and lift up my hands in your name.
5 Like fat and fatness it will be satisfied self my and lips of cries of joy it will praise [you] mouth my.
As with marrow and fat am I feasted; with joyful lips I will praise you.
6 If I have remembered you on beds my in [the] night-watches I meditate on you.
I call you to mind on my bed, and muse on you in the night watches;
7 For you are a help of me and in [the] shadow of wings your I shout for joy.
for you have been my help, I joyfully sing in the shadow of your wings.
8 It clings self my after you me it supports right [hand] your.
I cling close after you, your right hand holds me up.
9 And they to destruction they are seeking life my they will go in [the] lower parts of the earth.
But those who seek after my life shall go down to the depths of the earth,
10 People will pour him over [the] hands of [the] sword [the] portion of foxes they will be.
given o’er to the power of the sword, or as prey for jackals to devour.
11 And the king he will rejoice in God he will boast every [one who] swears an oath by him for it will be shut up [the] mouth of [those who] speak falsehood.
But the king shall rejoice in God: all who own his allegiance will glory. For the mouth of the false shall be stopped.
