Psalm 63

1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

1 O God, you are my God, and I long for you. My whole being desires you; like a dry, worn-out, and waterless land, my soul is thirsty for you.

2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

2 Let me see you in the sanctuary; let me see how mighty and glorious you are.

3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

3 Your constant love is better than life itself, and so I will praise you.

4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

4 I will give you thanks as long as I live; I will raise my hands to you in prayer.

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

5 My soul will feast and be satisfied, and I will sing glad songs of praise to you.

6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

6 As I lie in bed, I remember you; all night long I think of you,

7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

7 because you have always been my help. In the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.

8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

8 I cling to you, and your hand keeps me safe.

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

9 Those who are trying to kill me will go down into the world of the dead.

10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

10 They will be killed in battle, and their bodies eaten by wolves.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

11 Because God gives him victory, the king will rejoice. Those who make promises in God's name will praise him, but the mouths of liars will be shut.
