Psalm 63, NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly;
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.
 

2

Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
 

3

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
 

4

So I will bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
 

5

My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.
 

6

When I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches,
 

7

For You have been my help,
And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
 

8

My soul clings to You;
Your right hand upholds me.
 

9

But those who seek my life to destroy it,
Will go into the depths of the earth.
 

10

They will be delivered over to the power of the sword;
They will be a prey for foxes.
 

11

But the king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him will glory,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
