PSALM 63
The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.
A Psalm of David, 1 Sam 22:5; 23:14when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
1God, You are my God; I shall be watching for You;
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a dry and exhausted land where there is no water.
2So have I seen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and glory.
3Because Your Or faithfulnessfavor is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
4So I will bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5My soul is satisfied as with fat and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.
6When I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches,
7For You have been my help,
And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
8My soul clings Lit afterto You;
Your right hand takes hold of me.
9But those who seek my Lit soullife to destroy it,
Will go into the Lit lowest placesdepths of the earth.
They will be a Lit portionprey for foxes.
11But the king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him will boast,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
