Psalms 63

Thirsting for God
For the Pure and Shining One
King David’s song when he was exiled in the Judean wilderness
1O God of my life, I’m lovesick for you in this weary wilderness.
I thirst with the deepest longings to love you more,
with cravings in my heart that can’t be described.
Such yearning grips my soul for you, my God!
2I’m energized every time I enter
your heavenly sanctuary to seek more of your power
and drink in more of your glory.
3For your tender mercies mean more to me than life itself.
How I love and praise you, God!
4Daily I will worship you passionately and with all my heart.
My arms will wave to you like banners of praise.
5I overflow with praise when I come before you,
for the anointing of your presence satisfies me like nothing else.
You are such a rich banquet of pleasure to my soul.
6-7I lie awake each night thinking of you
and reflecting on how you help me like a father.
I sing through the night under your splendor-shadow,
offering up to you my songs of delight and joy!
8With passion I pursue and cling to you.
Because I feel your grip on my life,
I keep my soul close to your heart.
9Those who plot to destroy me shall descend into the darkness of hell.
10They will be consumed by their own evil
and become nothing more than dust under our feet. # 63:10 Or “food for foxes.”
11These liars will be silenced forever!
But with the anointing of a king I will dance and rejoice
along with all his devoted lovers who trust in him.

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.
