Psalms 63 / 150
- 1
(My Soul Thirsts for You)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 flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
- 2
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
- 3
Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
- 4
So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.
- 5
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
- 6
when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
- 7
for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
- 8
My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.
- 9
But those who seek to destroy my life
shall go down into the depths of the earth;
- 10
they shall be given over to the power of the sword;
they shall be a portion for jackals.
- 11
But the king shall rejoice in God;
all who swear by him shall exult,
for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
