Psalm 63
A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.
1God, you are my God.
I will earnestly seek you.
My soul thirsts for you.
My flesh longs for you,
in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
2So I have seen you in the sanctuary,
watching your power and your glory.
3Because your lovingkindness is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
4So I will bless you while I live.
I will lift up my hands in your name.
5My soul is satisfied as with the richest food.
My mouth praises you with joyful lips,
6when I remember you on my bed,
and think about you in the night watches.
7For you have been my help.
I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
8My soul stays close to you.
Your right hand holds me up.
9But those who seek to destroy my soul
will go into the lower parts of the earth.
10They will be given over to the power of the sword.
and become food for jackals.
11But the king will rejoice in God.
Everyone who swears by ʜɪᴍ will praise ʜɪᴍ,
for the mouths of liars will be silenced.
