Psalm 63

PSALM 63

O God, thou art my God;
early will I seek thee;
my soul thirsteth for thee,
my flesh loneth for thee in a dry and thirsty land,
where no water is;

To see thy power and thy glory,

so as I have seenthee in the sanuctuary.

Because thy lovingkindness is better than life,

my lips shall praise thee.

Thus will I bless thee while I live;

I will lift up my hands in thy name.

My soul shall be satisfied

as with marrow and fatness;

and my mouth shall praise thee

with joyful lips:

When I remember thee upon my bed,

and meditate on thee in the night watches.

Because thou hast been my help,

therefore in the shadow of thy wings

will I rejoice.

My soul followeth hard after thee;

thy right hand upholdeth me.

But those that seek my soul,

to destroy it.

shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

Thy shall fall by the sword:

they shall be a portion for foxes.

But the king shall rejoice inGod;

every one that sweareth by him shall glory:

but the mouth of them that speak lies

shall be stopped

A Psalm of David,

when he was in

the wilderness of Judah
