Psalms 63

1(A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.) O God, thou art my щGod; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water 2To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary; 3For thy loving-kindness is better than life my lips shall praise thee. 4So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name. 5My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips. 6When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches 7For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy. 8My soul followeth hard after thee thy right hand upholdeth me. 9But those that seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth; 10They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes. 11But 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.
