Psalm 63
God Satisfies the
Thirsting Soul |
| A Psalm of David, when he was
in the wilderness of Judah. 2.1--0.1 ; 0.15 ; 3.28 |
|
| 1 |
O God, thou art my God;
| |
| early will I seek thee: |
| my soul thirsteth for thee, |
| my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty
land, |
| where no water
is; |
|
|
| 2 |
to see thy power and thy glory,
| |
| so as I have seen thee in the
sanctuary. |
|
|
| 3 |
Because thy loving-kindness is better than life,
| |
| my lips shall praise
thee. |
|
|
| 4 |
Thus will I bless thee while I live:
| |
| I will lift up my hands in thy name.
|
|
|
| 5 |
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;
| |
| and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful
lips: |
|
|
| 6 |
when I remember thee upon my bed,
| |
| and meditate on thee in the night watches. |
|
|
| 7 |
Because thou hast been my help,
| |
| therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I
rejoice. |
|
|
| 8 |
My soul followeth hard after thee:
| |
| thy right hand upholdeth me.
|
|
|
| 9 |
But those that seek my soul, to
destroy it,
| |
| shall go into the lower parts of the
earth. |
|
|
| 10 |
They shall fall by the sword:
| |
| they shall be a portion for
foxes. |
|
|
| 11 |
But the king shall rejoice in God;
| |
| every one that sweareth by him shall glory: |
| but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be
stopped. |
