Psalm 63


1 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 
2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. 
3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. 
4 So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. 
5 My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, 
6 when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; 
7 for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. 
8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. 
9 But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into 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 the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
