Psalm 63

O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you;

my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you, as in a barren and dry land where there is no water.

Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place,

that I might behold your power and your glory.

For your loving-kindness is better than life itself;

my lips shall give you praise.

So will I bless you as long as I live

and lift up my hands in your Name.

My soul is content, as with marrow and fatness,

and my mouth praises you with joyful lips,

When I remember you upon my bed,

and meditate on you in the night watches.

For you have been my helper,

and under the shadow of your wings I will rejoice.

My soul clings to you;

your right hand holds me fast.

May those who seek my life to destroy it

go down into the depths of the earth;

Let them fall upon the edge of the sword,

and let them be food for jackals.

But the king will rejoice in God; all those who swear by him will be glad;

for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
