Psalm 63

New International Version

Psalm 63^[a]

A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

¹You, God, are my God,
    earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,^(A)
    my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
    where there is no water.^(B)

²I have seen you in the sanctuary^(C)
    and beheld your power and your glory.^(D)
³Because your love is better than life,^(E)
    my lips will glorify you.
⁴I will praise you as long as I live,^(F)
    and in your name I will lift up my hands.^(G)
⁵I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;^(H)
    with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

⁶On my bed I remember you;
    I think of you through the watches of the night.^(I)
⁷Because you are my help,^(J)
    I sing in the shadow of your wings.^(K)
⁸I cling to you;^(L)
    your right hand upholds me.^(M)

⁹Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;^(N)
they will go down to the depths of the earth.^(O)
¹⁰They will be given over to the sword^(P)
and become food for jackals.^(Q)

¹¹But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God will glory in him,^(R)
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.^(S)

New International Version

The Sabbath Year

25 The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai,^(A) ²“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the Lord. ³For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops.^(B) ⁴But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest,^(C) a sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.^(D) ⁵Do not reap what grows of itself^(E) or harvest the grapes^(F) of your untended vines.^(G) The land is to have a year of rest. ⁶Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year^(H) will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, ⁷as well as for your livestock and the wild animals^(I) in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.

The Year of Jubilee^(J)^(K)

⁸“‘Count off seven sabbath years—seven times seven years—so that the seven sabbath years amount to a period of forty-nine years. ⁹Then have the trumpet^(L) sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month;^(M) on the Day of Atonement^(N) sound the trumpet throughout your land. ¹⁰Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty^(O) throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee^(P) for you; each of you is to return to your family property^(Q) and to your own clan. ¹¹The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee^(R) for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines.^(S) ¹²For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields.

¹³“‘In this Year of Jubilee^(T) everyone is to return to their own property.

¹⁴“‘If you sell land to any of your own people or buy land from them, do not take advantage of each other.^(U) ¹⁵You are to buy from your own people on the basis of the number of years^(V) since the Jubilee. And they are to sell to you on the basis of the number of years left for harvesting crops. ¹⁶When the years are many, you are to increase the price, and when the years are few, you are to decrease the price,^(W) because what is really being sold to you is the number of crops. ¹⁷Do not take advantage of each other,^(X) but fear your God.^(Y) I am the Lord your God.^(Z)
