Psalm 63

1 God! My God! It's you— I search for you! My whole being thirsts for you! My body desires you in a dry and tired land, no water anywhere.

1 God - you're my God! I can't get enough of you! I've worked up such hunger and thirst for God, traveling across dry and weary deserts.

2 Yes, I've seen you in the sanctuary; I've seen your power and glory.

2 So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open, drinking in your strength and glory.

3 My lips praise you because your faithful love is better than life itself!

3 In your generous love I am really living at last! My lips brim praises like fountains.

4 So I will bless you as long as I'm alive; I will lift up my hands in your name.

4 I bless you every time I take a breath; My arms wave like banners of praise to you.

5 I'm fully satisfied— as with a rich dinner. My mouth speaks praise with joy on my lips—

5 I eat my fill of prime rib and gravy; I smack my lips. It's time to shout praises!

6 whenever I ponder you on my bed, whenever I meditate on you in the middle of the night—

6 If I'm sleepless at midnight, I spend the hours in grateful reflection.

7 because you've been a help to me and I shout for joy in the protection of your wings.

7 Because you've always stood up for me, I'm free to run and play.

8 My whole being clings to you; your strong hand upholds me.

8 I hold on to you for dear life, and you hold me steady as a post.

9 But what about those people who want to destroy me? Let them go into the bowels of the earth!

9 Those who are out to get me are marked for doom, marked for death, bound for hell.

10 Let their blood flow by the sword! Let them be food for wild jackals!

10 They'll die violent deaths; jackals will tear them limb from limb.

11 But the king should rejoice in God; everyone who swears by God should give praise when the mouths of liars are shut for good.

11 But the king is glad in God; his true friends spread the joy, While small-minded gossips are gagged for good.
