Psalms 63
Psalms 63
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
631O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee:
My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee,
In a dry and weary land, where no water is.
2So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary,
To see thy power and thy glory.
3Because thy lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise thee.
4So will I bless thee while I live:
I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;
And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips;
6When I remember thee upon my bed,
And meditate on thee in the night-watches.
7For thou hast been my help,
And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8My soul followeth hard after thee:
me.
9But those that seek my soul, to destroy it,
Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10They shall be given over to the power of the sword:
They shall be a portion for foxes.
11But the king shall rejoice in God:
one that sweareth by him shall glory;
For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
