Psalms 63

¹A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God; with deepest longing I will seek You; My[1] soul [my life, my very self] thirsts for You, my flesh longs and sighs for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

²So I have gazed upon You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.

³Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.

⁴So will I bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.

⁵My[2] soul [my life, my very self] is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises [to You] with joyful lips.

⁶When I remember You on my bed, I meditate and thoughtfully focus on You in the night watches,

⁷For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings [where I am always protected] I sing for joy.

⁸My[3] soul [my life, my very self] clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

⁹But those who seek my life to destroy it Will [be destroyed and] go into the depths of the earth [into the underworld].

¹⁰They will be given over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey for foxes.

¹¹But the king will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him [honoring the true God, acknowledging His authority and majesty] will glory, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
