PSALM 63

God is Worthy of Praise

A psalm to David; in his being in the wilderness of Judah.

1 O God, my God, to you I rise early. [²thirsted for ³you ¹My soul]. How often [²longed for you ¹my flesh] in [⁶land ¹a barren ²and ³untrodden ⁴and ⁵waterless]. 2 Thus in the holy place I appeared to you, to behold your power and your glory. 3 For [²is better ¹your mercy] than life. My lips shall praise you; 4 thus will I bless you in my life; [³in ⁴your name ¹I will lift ²my hands]. 5 As of fat and fatness may [²be filled ¹my soul]; and with lips of exultation [²shall praise ¹my mouth]. 6 Forasmuch as I remembered you upon my strewn bed; at the dawns I meditated on you. 7 For you are my helper, and in the protection of your wings I shall exult. 8 [²shall cleave ¹My soul] after you; [⁴of me ¹but ³took hold ²your right hand]. 9 But they [³in ⁴folly ¹seek ²my soul]; they shall enter into the lowermost part of the earth. 10 They shall be delivered up into the hands of the broadsword; [²portions ³for foxes ¹they will be]. 11 But the king shall be glad upon God; [⁵shall be praised ¹all ²swearing by an oath ³in ⁴him], for he obstructed the mouth of the ones speaking unjustly.
