Psalm 63

New American Standard Bible

The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.

A Psalm of David, ^[a]when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

63 God, ^(A)You are my God; I shall be watching for You;
My soul ^(B)thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a ^(C)dry and exhausted land where there is no water.
²So have I ^(D)seen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and glory.
³Because Your ^[b]^(E)favor is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
⁴So I will bless You ^(F)as long as I live;
I will ^(G)lift up my hands in Your name.
⁵My soul is ^(H)satisfied as with fat and fatness,
And my mouth offers ^(I)praises with joyful lips.

⁶When I remember You ^(J)on my bed,
I meditate on You in the ^(K)night watches,
⁷For ^(L)You have been my help,
And in the ^(M)shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
⁸My soul ^(N)clings ^[c]to You;
Your ^(O)right hand takes hold of me.

⁹But those who ^(P)seek my ^[d]life to destroy it,
Will go into the ^[e]^(Q)depths of the earth.
¹⁰^[f]They will be ^[g]^(R)turned over to the power of the sword;
They will be a ^[h]^(S)prey for foxes.
¹¹But the ^(T)king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who ^(U)swears by Him will boast,
For the ^(V)mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

³⁵Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, ^(A)teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.

³⁶^(B)Seeing the crowds, He felt compassion for them, ^(C)because they were ^[a]distressed and downcast, like sheep ^[b]without a shepherd. ³⁷Then He *said to His disciples, “^(D)The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. ³⁸Therefore, plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

The Twelve Disciples; Instructions for Service

10 Jesus ^(E)summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to ^(F)heal every disease and every sickness.

⁶but rather go to ^(A)the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷And as you go, ^[a]preach, saying, ‘^(B)The kingdom of heaven ^[b]has come near.’ ⁸Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
