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.
1God, 1You are my God; I shall be watching for You; My soul 2thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a 3dry and exhausted land where there is no water.2So have I 4seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and glory.3Because Your 56favor is better than life, My lips will praise You.4So I will bless You 7as long as I live; I will 8lift up my hands in Your name.5My soul is 9satisfied as with fat and fatness, And my mouth offers 10praises with joyful lips.
6When I remember You 11on my bed, I meditate on You in the 12night watches,7For 13You have been my help, And in the 14shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.8My soul 15clings 16to You; Your 17right hand takes hold of me.
9But those who 18seek my 19life to destroy it, Will go into the 2021depths of the earth.1022They will be 2324turned over to the power of the sword; They will be a 2526prey for foxes.11But the 27king will rejoice in God; Everyone who 28swears by Him will boast, For the 29mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
