Psalm 63

1 You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched 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 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.

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

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

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

4 I will praise you as long as I live, and 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 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

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

6 On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.

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

7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.

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

8 I cling 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 Those who want to kill me will be destroyed; they will go down to 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 will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.

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

11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God will glory in him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.

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