Psalms 63

LEB(i) 1 A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.*
O God, you are my God; I will seek you diligently. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you as in a dry and weary land without water. 2 Thus I have seen you in the sanctuary, beholding your strength and glory. 3 Because your loyal love is better than life, my lips will praise you. 4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands* in your name. 5 My soul will be satisfied as with the best and richest food, and with joyful lips my mouth will praise. 6 When I remember you on my bed, I meditate on you in the night watches. 7 Because you have been my help, therefore* in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. 8 My soul clings to* you; your right hand upholds me. 9 But as for them who seek my life for ruin, they will go into the depths of the earth. 10 They who would deliver him to the sword* will become a portion for jackals. 11 However, the king will rejoice in God. Everyone who swears an oath by him will boast, because the mouth of the liars will be stopped.
