Psalm 63

My Soul Thirsts for You

A Psalm of David. ▼
▼1 Sam 22:5; 23:14
When he was in the wilderness of Judah.

1O God, You are my God; I shall seek You ▼
▼Lit early
earnestly;
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh ▼
▼Lit faints
yearns for You,
In a dry and weary land without water.
 2Thus I have beheld You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
 3Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will laud You.
 4Thus I will bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
 5My soul is satisfied as with fatness and richness,
And my mouth offers praises with lips of joyful songs.
 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 ▼
▼Lit after
to You;
Your right hand upholds me.
 9But those who seek my ▼
▼Lit soul
life to destroy it,
Will go into the ▼
▼Lit lowest places
depths of the earth.
 10 ▼
▼ Lit They will pour him out
They will be delivered over to the power of the sword;
They will be a portion for foxes.
 11But the king will be glad in God;
Everyone who swears by Him will boast,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be closed.
