Psalms 63 ([Psalm of David in the wilderness of Judah:]) O God, you are my God. At dawn I search for you. I thirst for you. My body longs for you in a dry, parched land where there is no water.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ([[Psalm of David] in the wilderness of Judah:]) O God, you are my God. At dawn I search for you. I thirst for you. My body longs for you in a dry, parched land where there is no water. ² I look for you in the holy place to see your power and your glory. ³ My lips will praise you because your love (mercy) (loving kindness) (steadfast love) is better than life. ⁴ So I will bless (thank) you as long as I live. I will lift up my hands [in prayer] in your name. ⁵ You satisfy me with the richest foods. My mouth will sing your praise with joyful lips. ⁶ As I lie on my bed, I remember you. Through the long hours of the night, I think about you. ⁷ You have been my help. In the shadow (defense) of your wings, I sing joyfully. ⁸ I cling to you. Your right hand supports (holds) me. ⁹ But those who try to destroy my life will go into the depths of the earth. ¹⁰ Swords will cut them down. Their dead bodies will be left as food for jackals. ¹¹ But the king will find joy in God. Everyone who takes an oath by God will speak praise, but the mouths of liars will be shut.
