Psalm 63

My Soul Thirsts for You

Heading

A psalm by David. When he was in the wilderness of Judah. ^[1]

Thirsting for God

¹ God, you are my God. Eagerly I seek you.
My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you,
in a dry and dreary land without water.
² Yes, in the sanctuary I have watched you
to see your power and your glory.

Joy Even in Adversity

³ Because your mercy is better than life,
my lips will worship you.
⁴ Yes, I will bless you as long as I live.
In your name I will lift up my hands.
⁵ My soul will be satisfied with rich food. ^[2]
My mouth will praise you with lips filled with songs.
⁶ Whenever I remember you on my bed,
throughout the watches of the night I meditate on you.
⁷ Because you are a help for me,
I sing for joy under the shade of your wings.
⁸ My soul clings to you.
Your right hand upholds me.

Destruction for the Defiant

⁹ But those who seek my life will go to destruction.
They will go into the depths of the earth.
¹⁰ They will be given over to the power of the sword.
They will become food for foxes. ^[3]
11 But the king will rejoice in God.
All who swear by him will praise him,
but the mouths of those speaking lies will be shut.
