Psalm 63
A psalm by David when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
1O God, you are my God.
At dawn I search for you.
My soul thirsts for you.
My body longs for you
in a dry, parched land where there is no water.
2So I look for you in the holy place
to see your power and your glory.
3My lips will praise you
because your mercy is better than life ⌞itself⌟.
4So I will thank you as long as I live.
I will lift up my hands ⌞to pray⌟ in your name.
5You satisfy my soul with the richest foods.
My mouth will sing ⌞your⌟ praise with joyful lips.
6As I lie on my bed, I remember you.
Through the long hours of the night, I think about you.
7You have been my help.
In the shadow of your wings, I sing joyfully.
8My soul clings to you.
Your right hand supports me.
9But those who try to destroy my life
will go into the depths of the earth.
10They will be cut down by swords.
Their dead bodies will be left as food for jackals.
11But the king will find joy in God.
Everyone who takes an oath by God will brag,
but the mouths of liars will be shut.

Joy in the Fellowship of God
A Psalm of David #1 Sam. 22:5when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
1O God, You are my God;
Early will I seek You;
#Ps. 42:2; (Matt. 5:6)My soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.
2So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
To see #Ps. 27:4Your power and Your glory.
3#Ps. 138:2Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
4Thus I will bless You while I live;
I will #Ps. 28:2; 143:6lift up my hands in Your name.
5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
6When #Ps. 42:8I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches.
7Because You have been my help,
Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
8My soul follows close behind You;
Your right hand upholds me.
9But those who seek my life, to destroy it,
Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10They shall fall by the sword;
They shall be a portion for jackals.
11But the king shall rejoice in God;
#Deut. 6:13; (Is. 45:23; 65:16)Everyone who swears by Him shall glory;
But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
