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;
2. To see * thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen * thee in the sanctuary.
3. Because 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 marrow 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.
7. Because 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 fall * 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 * .
