63:1  A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah. God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you, My flesh longs for you, In a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

63:2  So I have seen you in the sanctuary, Watching your power and your glory.

63:3  Because your loving kindness is better than life, My lips shall praise you.

63:4  So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

63:5  My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

63:6  When I remember you on my bed, And think about you in the night watches.

63:7  For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

63:8  My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

63:9  But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

63:10  They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

63:11  But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, For the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
