63:1 [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. 63:2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. 63:3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. 63:4 So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. 63:5 My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, 63:6 when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; 63:7 for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. 63:8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. 63:9 But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth; 63:10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals. 63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
