Psalm 63

New Living Translation NLT

1 O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.

2 I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory.

3 Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you!

4 I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer.

5 You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy.

6 I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night.

7 Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.

8 I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely.

9 But those plotting to destroy me will come to ruin. They will go down into the depths of the earth.

10 They will die by the sword and become the food of jackals.

11 But the king will rejoice in God. All who swear to tell the truth will praise him, while liars will be silenced.

The Message Bible MSG

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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