Psalms 63

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

1O GodH430, thou art my GodH410; early will I seekH7836 thee: my soulH5315 thirstethH6770 for thee, my fleshH1320 longethH3642 for thee in a dryH6723 and thirstyH5889 landH776, where noH1097 waterH4325 is;12

2To seeH7200 thy powerH5797 and thy gloryH3519, so as I have seenH2372 thee in the sanctuaryH6944.

3Because thy lovingkindnessH2617 is betterH2896 than lifeH2416, my lipsH8193 shall praiseH7623 thee.

4Thus will I blessH1288 thee while I liveH2416: I will lift upH5375 my handsH3709 in thy nameH8034.

5My soulH5315 shall be satisfiedH7646 as with marrowH2459 and fatnessH1880; and my mouthH6310 shall praiseH1984 thee with joyfulH7445 lipsH8193:3

6When I rememberH2142 thee upon my bedH3326, and meditateH1897 on thee in the night watchesH821.

7Because thou hast been my helpH5833, therefore in the shadowH6738 of thy wingsH3671 will I rejoiceH7442.

8My soulH5315 followeth hardH1692 afterH310 thee: thy right handH3225 upholdethH8551 me.

9But those that seekH1245 my soulH5315, to destroyH7722 it, shall goH935 into the lower partsH8482 of the earthH776.

10They shall fallH5064 by the swordH2719H3027: they shall be a portionH4521 for foxesH7776.4

11But the kingH4428 shall rejoiceH8055 in GodH430; every one that swearethH7650 by him shall gloryH1984: but the mouthH6310 of them that speakH1696 liesH8267 shall be stoppedH5534.
