Psalms 63 — GNB

63Verse 1“A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.” O God! thou art my God! earnestly do I seek thee! My soul thirsteth, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry, thirsty land. where is no water!^{Verse 2}Thus I look toward thee in thy sanctuary, To behold thy power and thy glory!^{Verse 3}For thy loving-kindness is better than life; Therefore my lips shall praise thee!^{Verse 4}Thus will I bless thee, while I live; In thy name will I lift up my hands!^{Verse 5}My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And with joyful lips my mouth shall praise thee,^{Verse 6}When I think of thee upon my bed, And meditate on thee in the night-watches.^{Verse 7}For thou art my help, And in the shadow of thy wings I rejoice.^{Verse 8}My soul cleaveth to thee; Thy right hand holdeth me up.^{Verse 9}While they who seek to destroy my life Shall themselves go down into the depths of the earth.^{Verse 10}They shall be given up to the sword, And be a portion for jackals.^{Verse 11}But the king shall rejoice in God; All that swear by him shall be honored; But the mouth of liars shall be stopped.
