Psalm 63
A Psalm of David aWhen He Was in the Wilderness of Judah.
Early will I seek You;
bMy soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.
2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
To see cYour power and Your glory.
3 dBecause Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
4 Thus I will bless You while I live;
I will elift up my hands in Your name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with 1marrow and 2fatness,
And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
6 When fI remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches.
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 3fall by the sword;
They shall be 4a portion for jackals.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God;
gEveryone who swears by Him shall glory;
But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
