Psalm 63:1-11

63
Chapter 63
A psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah. 1 God, my God, you—I seek you early; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh thirsts for you in a dry and weary land without water. 2 Yes, in the sanctuary I have seen you, to behold your power and your glory. 3 For your steadfast love is better than life; my lips will praise you. 4 In this way I will bless you while I live; I will lift up my hands in your name. 5 My soul will be satisfied as with fat and marrow, and with joyful lips my mouth will praise you. 6 If I remember you on my bed, in the watches of the night I meditate on you. 7 Because you have been my help and in the shadow of your wings I will rejoice. 8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. 9 But those who seek my life for destruction will go into the depths of the earth. 10 Those who seek my nephesh will go down to the depths of the earth; they will pour out like water. 11 But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who swears by him will boast, for the mouth of those who speak lies will be stopped.
