A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah
63
📚✭✭O God, you are my God. Early I will seek you.
My soul thirsts for you,
my flesh longs for you
in a dry and thirsty land,
where there is no water,
2 📚✭To see your power
and your glory,
just as I have seen you
in the sanctuary.
3 📚✭✭Because your loving kindness
is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
4 📚So I will praise you
while I live.
I will lift up my hands
in your name.
5 📚My soul will be satisfied
as with marrow
and fatness,
and my mouth will praise you
with joyful lips,
6 📚✭When I remember you on my bed
and meditate on you
in the night watches,
7 📚Because you have been my help.
Therefore in the shadow
of your wings✭ I will rejoice.
8 📚✭My soul follows you closely.
Your right hand upholds me.
9 📚✭But those who seek
to destroy my soul will go
into the lower parts
of the earth.
10 📚They will fall by the sword.
They will be a portion for foxes.
11 📚But the king will rejoice
in God.
Everyone who swears by him
will glory.
But the mouth of those who speak
lies will be stopped.
