Psalms 63
The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.
A Psalm of David, 1 Sam 22:5; 23:14when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
1O GodH430, 1You are my GodH410; I shall seekH7836 You 2earnestlyH7836; My soulH5315 3thirstsH6770 for You, my fleshH1320 4yearnsH3642 for You, In a 5dryH6723 and wearyH5889 landH776 where there is noH1097 waterH4325.2ThusH3651 I have 6seenH2372 You in the sanctuaryH6944, To seeH7200 Your powerH5797 and Your gloryH3519.3BecauseH3588 Your 7lovingkindnessH2617 is betterH2896 thanH4480 lifeH2425, My lipsH8193 will praiseH7623 You.4SoH3651 I will blessH1288 You 8as long as I liveH2425; I will 9liftH5375 up my handsH3709 in Your nameH8034.5My soulH5315 is 10satisfiedH7646 as with 11marrowH2459 and fatnessH1880, And my mouthH6310 offersH1984 12praisesH1984 with joyfulH7445 lipsH8193.
6WhenH518 I rememberH2142 You 13on my bedH3326, I meditateH1897 on You in the 14night watchesH821,7For 15You have beenH1961 my helpH5833, And in the 16shadowH6738 of Your wingsH3671 I singH7442 for joyH7442.8My soulH5315 17clingsH1692 18to You; Your 19rightH3225 handH3225 upholdsH8551 me.
9But thoseH1992 who 20seekH1245 my 21lifeH5315 to destroyH7724 it, Will goH935 into the 2223depthsH8482 of the earthH776.1024They will be 2526deliveredH5064 overH5064 to the powerH3027 of the swordH2719; They will be a 2728preyH4521 for foxesH7776.11But the 29kingH4428 will rejoiceH8055 in GodH430; EveryoneH3605 who 30swearsH7650 by Him will gloryH1984, For the 31mouthsH6310 of those who speakH1696 liesH8267 will be stoppedH5534.
