Context of Psalms 63:5

3Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you. 4For this reason I will praise you while I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. As if with choice meat you satisfy my soul. My mouth joyfully praises you, 6whenever I remember you on my bed, and think about you during the nighttime hours. 7For you are my deliverer; under your wings I rejoice.
