Psalms - Chapter 63 | New International Version

  • 1. {A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.} O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
  • 2. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
  • 3. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
  • 4. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
  • 5. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
  • 6. On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
  • 7. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
  • 8. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
  • 9. They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.
  • 10. They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.
  • 11. But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God's name will praise him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
