Psalm 63:7–11

7 Because you are my help,

I sing in the shadow of your wings.

8 I cling to you;

your right hand upholds me.

9 Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;

they will go down to the depths of the earth.

10 They will be given over to the sword

and become food for jackals.

11 But the king will rejoice in God;

all who swear by God will glory in him,

while the mouths of liars will be silenced.

7 Because thou hast been my help,

Therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

8 My soul followeth hard after thee:

Thy right hand upholdeth me.

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it,

Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 They shall fall by the sword:

They shall be a portion for foxes.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God;

Every one that sweareth by him shall glory:

But the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

7 Because you are my helper,

I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.

8 I cling to you;

your strong right hand holds me securely.

9 But those plotting to destroy me will come to ruin.

They will go down into the depths of the earth.

10 They will die by the sword

and become the food of jackals.

11 But the king will rejoice in God.

All who swear to tell the truth will praise him,

while liars will be silenced.

7 Because You have been my help,

Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.

8 My soul follows close behind You;

Your right hand upholds me.

9 But those who seek my life, to destroy it,

Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 They shall fall by the sword;

They shall be a portion for jackals.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God;

Everyone who swears by Him shall glory;

But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

7 You are my help.

Because of your protection, I sing.

8 I stay close to you;

you support me with your right hand.

9 Some people are trying to kill me,

but they will go down to the grave.

10 They will be killed with swords

and eaten by wild dogs.

11 But the king will rejoice in his God.

All who make promises in his name will praise him,

but the mouths of liars will be shut.

7 For thou hast been my help,

And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

8 My soul followeth hard after thee:

Thy right hand upholdeth me.

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it,

Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword:

They shall be a portion for foxes.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God:

Every one that sweareth by him shall glory;

For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

7 For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy. 8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. 9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth; 10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes. 11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

7 You have been my help. 

In the shadow of your wings, I sing joyfully. 

8 My soul clings to you. 

Your right hand supports me. 

9 But those who try to destroy my life 

will go into the depths of the earth. 

10 They will be cut down by swords. 

Their dead bodies will be left as food for jackals. 

11 But the king will find joy in God. 

Everyone who takes an oath by God will brag, 

but the mouths of liars will be shut. 

7 because You are my helper;

I will rejoice in the shadow of Your wings.

8 I follow close to You;

Your right hand holds on to me.

9 But those who seek to destroy my life

will go into the depths of the earth.

10 They will be given over to the power of the sword;

they will become the jackals’ prey.

11 But the king will rejoice in God;

all who swear by Him will boast,

for the mouths of liars will be shut.

7 for you have been my help,

and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.

8 My soul clings to you;

your right hand upholds me.

9 But those who seek to destroy my life

shall go down into the depths of the earth;

10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword;

they shall be prey for jackals.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God;

all who swear by him shall exult,

for the mouths of liars will be stopped.

7 Because you have been my help,

therefore in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

8 My soul clings to you;

your right hand upholds me.

9 But as for them who seek my life for ruin,

they will go into the depths of the earth.

10 They who would deliver him to the sword

will become a portion for jackals.

11 However, the king will rejoice in God.

Everyone who swears an oath by him will boast,

because the mouth of the liars will be stopped.

7 Because you have helped me,

I sing in the shadow of your wings.

8 I hold on to you.

Your powerful right hand takes good care of me.

9 Those who are trying to kill me will be destroyed.

They will go down into the grave.

10 They will be killed with swords.

They will become food for wild dogs.

11 But the king will be filled with joy because of what God has done.

All those who take an oath in God’s name will praise him.

But the mouths of liars will be shut.

7 For You have been my help,

And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.

8 My soul clings to You;

Your right hand upholds me.

9 But those who seek my life to destroy it,

Will go into the depths of the earth.

10 They will be delivered over to the power of the sword;

They will be a prey for foxes.

11 But the king will rejoice in God;

Everyone who swears by Him will glory,

For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
