Psalms.

|
Chapter 63.
|
||
|
|
A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah. God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
|
||
|
|
So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
|
||
|
|
Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
|
||
|
|
So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
|
||
|
|
My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
|
||
|
|
when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
|
||
|
|
For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
|
||
|
|
My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
|
||
|
|
But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
|
||
|
|
They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
|
||
|
|
But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
