Psalm 63, NEW REVISED STANDARD VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
 

2

So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.
 

3

Because your steadfast love 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 and call on your name.
 

5

My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast, and my mouth praises you with joyful lips
 

6

when I think of you on my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
 

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 to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth;
 

10

they shall be given over to the power of the sword, they shall be prey for jackals.
 

11

But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
