Psalm 63

1 O God, You are my God;
       Early will I seek You;
My soul thirsts for You;
       My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
      Where there is no water.
2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
      To see Your power and Your glory.

3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
       My lips shall praise You.
4 Thus I will bless You while I live;
       I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
       And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.

6 When I remember You on my bed,
      I meditate on You in the night watches.
7 Because You have been my help,
       Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
8 My soul follows close behind You;
       Your right hand upholds me.

9 But those who seek my life, to destroy it,
       Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword;
      They shall be a portion for jackals.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God;
       Everyone who swears by Him shall glory;
       But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped. (NKJV)
