Psalm 63
New King James Version
Joy in the Fellowship of God
A Psalm of David (A)when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
63 O God, You are my God;
Early will I seek You;
(B)My soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.
2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
To see (C)Your power and Your glory.
3 (D)Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
4 Thus I will bless You while I live;
I will (E)lift up my hands in Your name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with [a]marrow and [b]fatness,
And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
6 When (F)I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches.
7 Because You have been my help,
Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
8 My soul follows close behind You;
Your right hand upholds me.
9 But those who seek my life, to destroy it,
Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall [c]fall by the sword;
They shall be [d]a portion for jackals.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God;
(G)Everyone who swears by Him shall glory;
But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

Psalm 63
My Soul Thirsts for You
Heading
A psalm by David. When he was in the wilderness of Judah.[a]
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.[b]
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.[c]
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.

Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
Копнеж за духовно общение с Бога
63 Псалом на Давид, когато беше в юдейската пустиня.
2 (A)[a] Боже, Ти си мой Бог! Търся Те от ранни зори.
Душата ми жадува за Тебе, плътта ми чезне за Тебе
като земя пуста, суха и безводна.
3 Затова аз Те съзерцавах в светилището,
за да видя Твоята сила и слава,
4 защото Твоята милост е по-добра от живота.
Затова моите устни ще Те прославят.
5 Така ще Ти благодаря, докато съм жив.
В Твое име ще вдигам ръцете си с упование.
6 Както добра храна ме насища, така
и моята уста с радостни устни ще Те прославя.
7 Мисля за Тебе през нощните часове,
когато си спомням за Тебе в леглото си.
8 Защото Ти си моят помощник
и под сянката на Твоите криле ще се радвам.
9 Моята душа се привърза към Тебе;
Твоята десница ме поддържа.
10 А които искат да погубят живота ми,
ще слязат в дълбините на земята.
11 Ще бъдат съсипани със силата на меча,
ще станат плячка на чакали.
12 (B)А царят ще се зарадва заради Божието дело;
ще бъде възхвален всеки, който се кълне в Него,
защото ще се затворят устата на лъжците.
