Psalms 63
1 A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
2 O God, you are my God; I seek you at dawn. My soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land without water.
3 So I have gazed on you in the sanctuary, to see your strength and your glory.
4 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.
5 So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift my hands.
6 My soul is satisfied as with a feast of rich food; with singing lips, my mouth praises you.
7 When I remember you on my bed, I meditate on you through the watches of the night.
8 For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
9 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
10 But those who seek my life to destroy it will descend to the depths of the earth.
11 They will be handed over to the power of the sword; they will become the portion of foxes.
12 But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who swears by him will boast, because the mouths of liars will be shut.
