Psalms 63



.

63

A song of David[348] from the time he was in the desert of Judah.

<1> God, you are my God.

I am searching so hard to find you.

Body and soul, I thirst for you

in this dry and weary land without water.

<2> Yes, I have seen you in your Temple.[349]

I have seen your strength and glory.[350]

<3> Your faithful love is better than life,

so my lips praise you.

<4> By my life, I will praise you.

In your name, I lift my hands in prayer.

<5> When I sit down to satisfy my hunger,

my joyful lips hunger to praise you!

<6> I remember you while lying on my bed.

I think about you in the middle of the night.

<7> That is because you are the one who helps me.

It makes me happy to be under your protection!

<8> My soul clings to you

as you hold me in your arms.

<9> People are trying to kill me,

but they will be destroyed.

They will go down to their graves.

<10> They will be killed with swords.

Wild dogs will eat their dead bodies.

<11> But the king will be happy with his God,

and the people who promised to obey him

will praise him when he defeats those liars.
