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.

Thirsting for God
(2 Samuel 15:30–37)
A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.
1O God, You are my God.
Earnestly I seek You;
my soul thirsts for You.
My body yearns for You
in a dry and weary land without water.
2So I have seen You in the sanctuary
and beheld Your power and glory.
3Because Your loving devotion is better than life,
my lips will glorify You.
4So I will bless You as long as I live;
in Your name I will lift my hands.
5My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.
6When I remember You on my bed,
I think of You through the watches of the night.
7For You are my help;
I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.
8My soul clings to You;
Your right hand upholds me.
9But those who seek my life to destroy it
will go into the depths of the earth.
10They will fall to the power of the sword;
they will become a portion for foxes.
11But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by Him will exult,
for the mouths of liars will be shut.
