PSALM 63 The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God. A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. 63
1O God, You are my God; I shall seek You [B]earnestly;
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh [C]yearns for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
3Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
4So I will bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5My soul is satisfied as with [D]marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.
6When I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches,
7For You have been my help,
And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
8My soul clings [E]to You;
Your right hand upholds me.
9But those who seek my [F]life to destroy it,
Will go into the [G]depths of the earth.
10[H]They will be [I]delivered over to the power of the sword;
They will be a [J]prey for foxes.
11But the king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him will glory,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
