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 and thirsty land, where no water is;

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 To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

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

3 Because thy loving-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: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

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

5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:

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 bed, [and] 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 my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

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

8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

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

9 But those [that] seek my soul to destroy [it], shall 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 shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion 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 sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies 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.
