Psalms 63
1 [A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.] God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
A Psalme of David. When he was in the wildernesse of Judah. O God, thou art my God, earely will I seeke thee: my soule thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and drye land without water.
2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
6 when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
7 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
But the King shall reioyce in God, and all that sweare by him shall reioyce in him: for the mouth of them that speake lyes, shall be stopped.
