Psalms 63

¹ A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water. ² So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory. ³ Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You. ⁴ So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands. ⁵ My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You. ⁶ When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night. ⁷ For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings. 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 fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes. ¹¹ But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
