Psalms 63:6-8

6 whenever ^{▼▼ The Hebrew term אִם (’im) is used here in the sense of “when; whenever,” as in Ps 78:34.} I remember you on my bed,
and think about you during the nighttime hours.
7 For you are my deliverer; ^{▼▼ Or “[source of] help.”}
under your wings ^{▼▼ Heb “in the shadow of your wings.”} I rejoice.
8 My soul ^{▼▼ Or “I.” The Hebrew term נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh) with a pronominal suffix is often equivalent to a pronoun, especially in poetry (see BDB 660 s.v. נֶפֶשׁ 4.a).} pursues you; ^{▼▼ Heb “clings after.” The expression means “to pursue with determination” (see Judg 20:45; 1 Sam 14:22; 1 Chr 10:2; Jer 42:16).}
your right hand upholds me.
