Psalms 63
1O GOD, my God! to approach Thee, I rise early. My soul thirsted for Thee. For Thee [I thirst] with all the vehement desire with which my flesh pines in a land, desert, trackless and without water.
2Thus have I appeared to Thee in the sanctuary; that I might see Thy power and Thy glory.
3Because Thy kindness is better than life; my lips shall continually praise Thee.
4Thus will I bless Thee while I live: and in Thy name I will lift up my hands.
5Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: that my joyful lips may praise Thy name.
6If I recollected Thee on my bed: in the morning watches I meditated on Thee.
7Because Thou hast been my helper: therefore in the shadow of Thy wings I will rejoice.
8My soul hath kept close to Thee: Thy right hand hath supported me.
9But as for these who sought my life in vain; they shall go to the lowest parts of the earth.
10They shall be delivered up to the edge of the sword: they shall be portions for jackals.
11But the joy of the king will be in God. Every one who sweareth by Him shall glory; because the mouth of them who speak lies is stopped.
