Psalm 63

Also in: CNV · ESV · NIV11 · NKJV · RCUV · CCBT

1O 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; 2To see thy power and thy glory, So as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. 3Because thy lovingkindness Is better than life, My lips shall praise thee. 4Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. 5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: 6When I remember thee upon my bed, And meditate on thee in the night watches. 7Because thou hast been my help, Therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. 8My soul followeth hard after thee: Thy right hand upholdeth me. 9But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth. 10They shall fall by the sword: They shall be a portion for foxes. 11But 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.
