Psalmen 63

1. ¹A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
2. ²O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.
3. ³So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory.
4. ⁴For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee.
5. ⁵So will I bless Thee as long as I live; in Thy name will I lift up my hands.
6. ⁶My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;
7. ⁷When I remember Thee upon my couch, and meditate on Thee in the night-watches.
8. ⁸For Thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice.
9. ⁹My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast.
10. ¹⁰But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth.
11. ¹¹They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes.
12. ¹²But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
