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
1A Psalme of David. When he was in the wildernesse of Judah. O God, thou art my God, earely will I seeke thee: my soule thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and drye land without water. 2Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie. 3For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee. 4Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name. 5My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes, 6When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches. 7Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce. 8My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me. 9Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth. 10They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes. 11But the King shall reioyce in God, and all that sweare by him shall reioyce in him: for the mouth of them that speake lyes, shall be stopped.
