Psalm 63:1–11

¹A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.

O God, You are my God.

Earnestly I seek You;

my soul thirsts for You.

My body yearns for You

in a dry and weary land without water.

²So I have seen You in the sanctuary

and beheld Your power and glory.

³Because Your loving devotion is better than life,

my lips will glorify You.

⁴So I will bless You as long as I live;

in Your name I will lift my hands.

⁵My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods;

with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

⁶When I remember You on my bed,

I think of You through the watches of the night.

⁷For You are my help;

I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

⁸My soul clings to You;

Your right hand upholds me.

⁹But those who seek my life to destroy it

will go into the depths of the earth.

¹⁰They will fall to the power of the sword;

they will become a portion for foxes.

¹¹But the king will rejoice in God;

all who swear by Him will exult,

for the mouths of liars will be shut.
