63:1
[Psalm Of David When he was in the desert of Judah] God, you are my God, I pine for you; my heart thirsts for you, my body longs for you, as a land parched, dreary and waterless.
63:2
Thus I have gazed on you in the sanctuary, seeing your power and your glory.
63:3
Better your faithful love than life itself; my lips will praise you.
63:4
Thus I will bless you all my life, in your name lift up my hands.
63:5
All my longings fulfilled as with fat and rich foods, a song of joy on my lips and praise in my mouth.
63:6
On my bed when I think of you, I muse on you in the watches of the night,
63:7
for you have always been my help; in the shadow of your wings I rejoice;
63:8
my heart clings to you, your right hand supports me.
63:9
May those who are hounding me to death go down to the depths of the earth,
63:10
given over to the blade of the sword, and left as food for jackals.
63:11
Then the king shall rejoice in God, all who swear by him shall gain recognition, for the mouths of liars shall be silenced.
