תהילים 63

1 מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד בִּהְיוֹתוֹ בְּמִדְבַּר יְהוּדָֽה׃ אֱלֹהִים ׀ אֵלִי אַתָּה אֲ‍ֽשַׁחֲרֶךָּ צָמְאָה לְךָ ׀ נַפְשִׁי כָּמַהּ לְךָ בְשָׂרִי בְּאֶֽרֶץ־צִיָּה וְעָיֵף בְּלִי־מָֽיִם׃

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.

2 כֵּן בַּקֹּדֶשׁ חֲזִיתִיךָ לִרְאוֹת עֻזְּךָ וּכְבוֹדֶֽךָ׃

So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

3 כִּי־טוֹב חַסְדְּךָ מֵֽחַיִּים שְׂפָתַי יְשַׁבְּחֽוּנְךָ׃

Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

4 כֵּן אֲבָרֶכְךָ בְחַיָּי בְּשִׁמְךָ אֶשָּׂא כַפָּֽי׃

So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.

5 כְּמוֹ חֵלֶב וָדֶשֶׁן תִּשְׂבַּע נַפְשִׁי וְשִׂפְתֵי רְנָנוֹת יְהַלֶּל־פִּֽי׃

My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

6 אִם־זְכַרְתִּיךָ עַל־יְצוּעָי בְּאַשְׁמֻרוֹת אֶהְגֶּה־בָּֽךְ׃

When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.

7 כִּֽי־הָיִיתָ עֶזְרָתָה לִּי וּבְצֵל כְּנָפֶיךָ אֲרַנֵּֽן׃

For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

8 דָּבְקָה נַפְשִׁי אַחֲרֶיךָ בִּי תָּמְכָה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

9 וְהֵמָּה לְשׁוֹאָה יְבַקְשׁוּ נַפְשִׁי יָבֹאוּ בְּֽתַחְתִּיּוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.

10 יַגִּירֻהוּ עַל־יְדֵי־חָרֶב מְנָת שֻׁעָלִים יִהְיֽוּ׃

They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.

11 וְהַמֶּלֶךְ יִשְׂמַח בֵּאלֹהִים יִתְהַלֵּל כָּל־הַנִּשְׁבָּע בּוֹ כִּי יִסָּכֵר פִּי דֽוֹבְרֵי־שָֽׁקֶר׃

But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
