63:1 A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah. O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
63:2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
63:3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
63:4 I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
63:5 My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
63:6 On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
63:7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
63:8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
63:9 They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.
63:10 They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.
63:11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God’s name will praise him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
63:1 O God, You are my God; I seek You diligently. / My soul thirsts for You, / My flesh faints in longing for You, / In a dry and weary land without water.
63:2 So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary, / Seeing Your power and Your glory.
63:3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, / My lips praise You.
63:4 Thus I bless You while I live; / I lift up my hands in Your name.
63:5 My soul is satisfied as with the rich fatness, / And my mouth praises You with lips of joyous shouting,
63:6 When I remember You while on my bed, / When I consider You in the night watches.
63:7 For You have been my help, / And in the shadow of Your wings I will shout for joy.
63:8 My soul pursues after You; / Your right hand upholds me.
63:9 But those who seek my life to destroy it / Will go into the lower parts of the earth;
63:10 They will be given over to the power of the sword; / They will be the portion of foxes.
63:11 But the king will rejoice in God; / Everyone who swears by Him will boast; / For the mouth of those who speak falsehood will be stopped.
