Tehillim (Psa) 63

1A psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Y’hudah:

2O God, you are my God;

I will seek you eagerly.

My heart thirsts for you,

my body longs for you

in a land parched and exhausted,

where no water can be found.

3I used to contemplate you in the sanctuary,

seeing your power and glory;

4for your grace is better than life.

My lips will worship you.

5Yes, I will bless you as long as I live;

in your name I will lift up my hands.

6I am as satisfied as with rich food;

my mouth praises you with joy on my lips

7when I remember you on my bed

and meditate on you in the night watches.

8For you have been my help;

in the shadow of your wings I rejoice;

9my heart clings to you;

your right hand supports me.

10But those who seek to destroy my life —

may they go to the lowest parts of the earth.

11May they be given over to the power of the sword;

may they become prey for jackals.

12But the king will rejoice in God.

Everyone who swears by him will exult,

for the mouths of liars will be silenced.
