Psalms 63

   |   

My Soul Thirsts for You

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

1 O God, you are my God; (b)earnestly I seek you;
    (c)my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
    as in (d)a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
    beholding (e)your power and glory.
3 Because your (f)steadfast love is better than life,
    my lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless you (g)as long as I live;
    in your (h)name I will (i)lift up my hands.

5 My soul will be (j)satisfied as with fat and rich food,
    and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
6 when I remember you (k)upon my bed,
    and meditate on you in (l)the watches of the night;
7 for you have been my help,
    and in (m)the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
8 My soul (n)clings to you;
    your right hand (o)upholds me.

9 But those who seek to destroy my life
    (p)shall go down into (q)the depths of the earth;
10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword;
    they shall be a portion for jackals.
11 But (r)the king shall rejoice in God;
    all who (s)swear by him shall exult,
    (t)for the mouths of (u)liars will be stopped.
