Psalms 63 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is.

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee:
My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee,
In a dry and weary land, where no water is. ² So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary,
To see thy power and thy glory. ³ Because thy lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise thee. ⁴ So will I bless thee while I live:
I will lift up my hands in thy name. ⁵ My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;
And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips; ⁶ When I remember thee upon my bed,
[And] meditate on thee in the night-watches. ⁷ For thou hast been my help,
And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. ⁸ My soul followeth hard after thee:
Thy right hand upholdeth me. ⁹ But those that seek my soul, to destroy it,
Shall go into the lower parts of the earth. ¹⁰ They shall be given over to the power of the sword:
They shall be a portion for foxes. ¹¹ But the king shall rejoice in God:
Every one that sweareth by him shall glory;
For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
