Psalm 63

1God, you are my God; I seek you early, my soul thirsts for you, my flesh yearns for you in a dry and weary land without water.

2So I have beheld you in the sanctuary, to see your power and your glory.

3Because your favor is better than life, my lips will praise you.

4Thus I will bless you as long as I live, lifting my hands in your name.

5My soul will be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth will praise with lips of joyful song.

6When I remember you on my bed, in the night watches I meditate on you.

7Because you have been my help, I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

8My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

9But those who seek my soul to destroy it will descend into the depths of the earth.

10They will fall into the hands of the sword; they will be a portion for foxes.

11But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who swears by him will boast, for the mouth of those who speak falsely will be silenced.
