Psalms 63
63
A psalm of David, when he was in the Judean desert.
1God, you are my God, I eagerly look for you. I am thirsty for you; all that I am longs for you in this dry, weary, waterless land.
2I see you in the Temple; I watch your power and glory.
3Your trustworthy love is better than life itself; I will praise you.
4I will thank you as long as I live; I lift up my hands as I celebrate your wonderful character.#63:4. Literally, “to your name.”
5You satisfy me more than the richest food; I will praise you with joyful songs.
6I think of you all night long as I lie on my bed meditating about you.
7For you are the one who helps me; I sing happily from under your wings.
8I hold on to you; your strong arms lift me up.
9Those who are trying to destroy me will go down into the grave.
10They will be killed by the sword; they will become food for jackals.
11But the king will be happy for what God has done. All who follow God#63:11. “Follow God”: literally, “swear by God.” will praise him, but those who tell lies will be silenced.
