Psalms 63

The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.

A Psalm of David, ^{▼▼ 1 Sam 22:5; 23:14}when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

1 O God, ^bYou are my God; I shall seek You ^{▼▼ Lit early}earnestly;
My soul ^dthirsts for You, my flesh ^{▼▼ Lit faints}yearns for You,
In a ^fdry and weary land where there is no water.
2 Thus I have ^gseen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
3 Because Your ^hlovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
4 So I will bless You ⁱas long as I live;
I will ^jlift up my hands in Your name.
5 My soul is ^ksatisfied as with ^{▼▼ Lit fat}marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers ^mpraises with joyful lips.

6 When I remember You ⁿon my bed,
I meditate on You in the ^onight watches,
7 For ^pYou have been my help,
And in the ^qshadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
8 My soul ^rclings ^{▼▼ Lit after}to You;
Your ^tright hand upholds me.

9 But those who ^useek my ^{▼▼ Lit soul}life to destroy it,
Will go into the ^{▼▼ Lit lowest places
,} ^xdepths of the earth.
10 ^{▼▼ Lit They will pour him out}They will be ^{▼▼ Lit poured out by
,} ^aadelivered over to the power of the sword;
They will be a ^{▼▼ Lit portion
,} ^acprey for foxes.
11 But the ^adking will rejoice in God;
Everyone who ^aeswears by Him will glory,
For the ^afmouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
