Psalms - Chapter 63 | English Standard Version

  • 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.
  • 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.
