Psalm 63

My Soul Thirsts for You

63
A Psalm of David. 1When he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, aYou are my God; I shall seek You 2earnestly;My soul bthirsts for You, my flesh 3yearns for You,In a cdry and weary land without water.
2Thus I have abeheld You in the sanctuary,To see Your power and Your glory.3Because Your alovingkindness is better than life,My lips will laud You.4Thus I will bless You aas long as I live;I will blift up my hands in Your name.5My soul is asatisfied as with fatness and richness,And my mouth offers bpraises with lips of joyful songs.6When I remember You aon my bed,I meditate on You in the bnight watches,7For aYou have been my help,And in the bshadow of Your wings I sing for joy.8My soul aclings 1to You;Your bright hand upholds me.9But those who aseek my 1life to destroy it,Will go into the 2,bdepths of the earth.101They will be adelivered over to the power of the sword;They will be a bportion for foxes.11But the aking will be glad in God;Everyone who bswears by Him will boast,For the cmouths of those who speak lies will be closed.
