Psalms 63
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.

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.
