PSALM 63
A Psalm of David, when he was in
the wilderness of Judah.
1 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 thirstya land, where no water
is; 2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen
thee in the sanctuary.
3Because
thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. 4
Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. 5
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrowb and fatness; and
my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: 6 When I
remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night
watches.
7Because
thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. 8
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. 9
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the
lower parts of the earth. 10 They shall fallc by the sword:
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.
