Psalm 63
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Praise God Who Satisfies
A psalm of David. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah.(A)
63 God, you are my God; I eagerly seek you.
I thirst for you;
my body faints for you
in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.(B)
2 So I gaze on you in the sanctuary
to see your strength and your glory.(C)
3 My lips will glorify you
because your faithful love is better than life.(D)
4 So I will bless you as long as I live;
at your name, I will lift up my hands.(E)
5 You satisfy me as with rich food;[a](F)
my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.(G)
6 When I think of you as I lie on my bed,
I meditate on you during the night watches(H)
7 because you are my helper;(I)
I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.(J)
8 I follow close to you;
your right hand holds on to me.(K)
9 But those who intend to destroy my life
will go into the depths of the earth.(L)
10 They will be given over to the power of the sword;(M)
they will become a meal for jackals.
11 But the king will rejoice in God;(N)
all who swear by him will boast,
for the mouths of liars will be shut.(O)
