PSALM 63
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
1Lord, thee my God, I'll early seek:
my soul doth thirst for thee;
My flesh longs in a dry parch'd land,
wherein no waters be:
2That I thy power may behold,
and brightness of thy face,
As I have seen thee heretofore
within thy holy place.
3Since better is thy love than life,
my lips thee praise shall give.
4I in thy name will lift my hands,
and bless thee while I live.
5Ev'n as with marrow and with fat
my soul shall filled be;
Then shall my mouth with joyful lips
sing praises unto thee:
6When I do thee upon my bed
remember with delight,
And when on thee I meditate
in watches of the night.
7In shadow of thy wings I'll joy;
for thou mine help hast been.
8My soul thee follows hard; and me
thy right hand doth sustain.
9Who seek my soul to spill shall sink
down to earth's lowest room.
10They by the sword shall be cut off,
and foxes' prey become.
11Yet shall the king in God rejoice,
and each one glory shall
That swear by him: but stopp'd shall be
the mouth of liars all.

Psalms 63
63
A Psalm (sacred song about or to God) of David [Beloved], when he was in the wilderness of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].
1O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], youi [are] my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; early will I seek youi: my soul thirsts for youi, my flesh longs for youi in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2To see youri power and youri glory, so [as] I have seen youi in the sanctuary.
3Because youri lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall praise youi.
4Thus will I bless youi while I live: I will lift up my hands in youri name.
5My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise [youi] with joyful lips:
6When I remember youi upon my bed, [and] meditate on youi in the [night] watches.
7Because youi have been my help, therefore in the shadow of youri wings will I rejoice.
8My soul follows hard after youi: youri right hand upholds me.
9But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11But the king shall rejoice in God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; every one that swears by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
