Psalms 63 — TOJB

63Verse 1(Mizmor Dovid. When he was in the midbar Yehudah)^{Verse 2}O Elohim,
Thou art Eli;
early will I seek Thee;
my nefesh thirsteth for Thee;
my basar longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land,
where no mayim is,
^{Verse 3}To see Thy oz (might, power) and Thy kavod,
as I have beheld Thee in the Kodesh (holy place, sanctuary, Mikdash).
^{Verse 4}Because Thy chesed is better than chayyim,
my lips shall praise Thee.
^{Verse 5}Thus will I bless Thee while I live;
I will lift up my hands b'Shimcha (in Thy Name.)^{Verse 6}My nefesh shall be satisfied as with chelev (fat) and deshen (abundance);
and my mouth shall praise Thee with lips of joyful singing;
^{Verse 7}When I remember Thee upon my bed,
and meditate on Thee in the ashmurot (night watches).
^{Verse 8}Because Thou hast been my help,
therefore in the tzel (shadow) of Thy wings will I sing with joy.
^{Verse 9}My nefesh followeth hard after Thee;
Thy Yamin (Right Hand) upholdeth me.^{Verse 10}But those that seek my nefesh, to destroy it,
shall go into the abysses of ha'aretz.
^{Verse 11}They deliver him into the power of the cherev;
they shall be a portion for jackals.
^{Verse 12}But HaMelech shall rejoice in Elohim;
every one that sweareth by Him shall glory;
but the mouth of them that speak sheker shall be stopped.
