Psalm 63

[1]   O God, you are my God, I seek you,   
         my soul thirsts for you;   
    my flesh faints for you,   
         as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.   
[2]   So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,   
         beholding your power and glory.   
[3]   Because your steadfast love is better than life,   
         my lips will praise you.   
[4]   So I will bless you as long as I live;   
         I will lift up my hands and call on your name.

[5]   My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast,   
         and my mouth praises you with joyful lips   
[6]   when I think of you on my bed,   
         and meditate on you in the watches of the night;   
[7]   for you have been my help,   
         and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.   
[8]   My soul clings to you;   
         your right hand upholds me.

[9]   But those who seek to destroy my life   
         shall go down into the depths of the earth;   
[10]  they shall be given over to the power of the sword,   
         they shall be prey for jackals.   
[11]  But the king shall rejoice in God;   
         all who swear by him shall exult,   
         for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
