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;
63:2 To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in
the sanctuary.
63:3 Because thy loving-kindness [is] better than life, my lips
shall praise thee.
63:4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my
hands in thy name.
63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness;
and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:
63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in
the [night] watches.
63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of
thy wings will I rejoice.
63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth
me.
63:9 But those [that] seek my soul to destroy [it], shall go
into the lower parts of the earth.
63:10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for
foxes.
63:11 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.
