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
You Are My God
1A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
2O God, You are my God, earnestly I seek You. My soul thirsts for You. My flesh longs for You in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
3So, I looked for You in the Sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory.
4Since Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You.
5So I will bless You as long as I live. In Your name I lift up my hands.
6My soul is satisfied as with fat and oil, so my mouth praises You with joyful lips.
7When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You through the night watches.
8For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
9My soul clings to You— Your right hand upholds me.
10But those who seek my soul to destroy it will go down to the depths of the earth.
11They will be gutted by the sword, and become a prey for jackals.
12But the king will rejoice in God. All who swear by Him will boast, when the mouth speaking lies is shut.
