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.

Tehillim (Psalms) 63
63
1O Elohim, You are my Ěl; I earnestly seek You; My being has thirsted for You; My flesh has longed for You In a dry and thirsty land without water.
2Therefore I have had a vision of You In the set-apart place, To see Your power and Your esteem.
3Because Your loving-commitment is better than life, My lips do praise You.
4Therefore I bless You while I live; In Your Name I lift up my hands.
5My being is satisfied as with marrow and fat, And my mouth praises You with singing lips.
6When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.
7For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing.
8My being has closely followed You; Your right hand did uphold me.
9But those who seek to destroy my life, Go into the lower parts of the earth.
10They are handed over To the power of the sword; They become a portion for jackals.
11But let the sovereign rejoice in Elohim; Let everyone who swears by Him exult; For the mouth of those speaking lies is stopped.
