Psalm 63

Psalm 63
​
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.
 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
    beholding your power and glory.
 Because your steadfast love is better than life,
    my lips will praise you.
 So I will bless you as long as I live;
    in your name I will lift up my hands.
 My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
    and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
 when I remember you upon my bed,
    and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
 for you have been my help,
    and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
 My soul clings to you;
    your right hand upholds me.
 But those who seek to destroy my life
    shall go down into the depths of the earth;
 they shall be given over to the power of the sword;
    they shall be a portion for jackals.
 But the king shall rejoice in God;
    all who swear by him shall exult,
    for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
