Psalm 63

1O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
   my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
   as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
   beholding your power and glory. 3Because your steadfast love is better than life,
   my lips will praise you. 4So I will bless you as long as I live;
   in your name I will lift up my hands.

5My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
   and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, 6when I remember you upon my bed,
   and meditate on you in the watches of the night; 7for you have been my help,
   and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. 8My soul clings to you;
   your right hand upholds me.

9But those who seek to destroy my life
   shall go down into the depths of the earth; 10they shall be given over to the power of the sword;
   they shall be a portion for jackals. 11But the king shall rejoice in God;
   all who swear by him shall exult,
   for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
