1 Psalm 63 My Soul Thirsts for You A Psalm of David. 63:01 Sam 22:5; 23:14 When he was in the wilderness of Judah.O God, You are my God; I shall seek You 63:1Lit early earnestly;My soul thirsts for You, my flesh 63:1Lit faints yearns for You,In a dry and weary land without water.
2 Thus I have beheld You in the sanctuary,To see Your power and Your glory.
3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,My lips will laud You.
4 Thus I will bless You as long as I live;I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5 My soul is satisfied as with fatness and richness,And my mouth offers praises with lips of joyful songs.
6 ¶When I remember You on my bed,I meditate on You in the night watches,
7 For You have been my help,And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
8 My soul clings 63:8Lit after to You;Your right hand upholds me.
9 ¶But those who seek my 63:9Lit soul life to destroy it,Will go into the 63:9Lit lowest places depths of the earth.
10 63:10Lit They will pour him out They will be delivered over to the power of the sword;They will be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king will be glad in God;Everyone who swears by Him will boast,For the mouths of those who speak lies will be closed.
