Psalm 63:2–8

I have seen you in the sanctuary

and beheld your power and your glory.

Because your love is better than life,

my lips will glorify you.

I will praise you as long as I live,

and in your name I will lift up my hands.

I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;

with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you;

I think of you through the watches of the night.

Because you are my help,

I sing in the shadow of your wings.

I cling to you;

your right hand upholds me.

So I gaze on you in the sanctuary

to see your strength and your glory.

My lips will glorify you

because your faithful love is better than life.

So I will bless you as long as I live;

at your name, I will lift up my hands.

You satisfy me as with rich food;

my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.

When I think of you as I lie on my bed,

I meditate on you during the night watches

because you are my helper;

I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

I follow close to you;

your right hand holds on to me.

I have seen you in your sanctuary

and gazed upon your power and glory.

Your unfailing love is better than life itself;

how I praise you!

I will praise you as long as I live,

lifting up my hands to you in prayer.

You satisfy me more than the richest feast.

I will praise you with songs of joy.

I lie awake thinking of you,

meditating on you through the night.

Because you are my helper,

I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.

I cling to you;

your strong right hand holds me securely.

Thus I have seen you in the sanctuary,

beholding your strength and glory.

Because your loyal love is better than life,

my lips will praise you.

So I will bless you while I live.

I will lift up my hands in your name.

My soul will be satisfied as with the best and richest food,

and with joyful lips my mouth will praise.

When I remember you on my bed,

I meditate on you in the night watches.

Because you have been my help,

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

My soul clings to you;

your right hand upholds me.

To see thy power and thy glory,

So as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

Because thy lovingkindness is better than life,

My lips shall praise thee.

Thus will I bless thee while I live:

I will lift up my hands in thy name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;

And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

When I remember thee upon my bed,

And meditate on thee in the night watches.

Because thou hast been my help,

Therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

My soul followeth hard after thee:

Thy right hand upholdeth me.
