| Chapter 63 |
1 | A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. 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.
