Psalm 63

1 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

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 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.

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

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

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 live; in your name I will lift up my hands.

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

5 My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,

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

6 when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

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

7 for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

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

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

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

9 But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth;

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

10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals.

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

11 But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped.

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