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.

Psalm 63
63
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
2 Hear, O God, my prayer of supplication. Rescue my soul from the fear of the enemy.
3 You have protected me from the assembly of the malignant, from a multitude of workers of iniquity.
4 For they have sharpened their tongues like a sword; they have formed their bow into a bitter thing,
5 so that they may shoot arrows from hiding at the immaculate.
6 They will suddenly shoot arrows at him, and they will not be afraid. They are resolute in their wicked talk. They have discussed hidden snares. They have said, "Who will see them?"
7 They have been searching carefully for iniquities. Their exhaustive search has failed. Man will approach with a deep heart,
8 and God will be exalted. The arrows of the little ones have become their wounds,
9 and their tongues have been weakened against them. All those who saw them have been troubled;
10 and every man was afraid. And they announced the works of God, and they understood his acts.
11 The just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him. And all the upright of heart will be praised.
