Psalms 63

Joy in the Fellowship of God

A Psalm of David #1 Sam. 22:5when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

1O God, You are my God;

Early will I seek You;

#Ps. 42:2; (Matt. 5:6)My soul thirsts for You;

My flesh longs for You

In a dry and thirsty land

Where there is no water.

2So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,

To see #Ps. 27:4Your power and Your glory.

3#Ps. 138:2Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,

My lips shall praise You.

4Thus I will bless You while I live;

I will #Ps. 28:2; 143:6lift up my hands in Your name.

5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness,

And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.

6When #Ps. 42:8I remember You on my bed,

I meditate on You in the night watches.

7Because You have been my help,

Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.

8My soul follows close behind You;

Your right hand upholds me.

9But those who seek my life, to destroy it,

Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10They shall fall by the sword;

They shall be a portion for jackals.

11But the king shall rejoice in God;

#Deut. 6:13; (Is. 45:23; 65:16)Everyone who swears by Him shall glory;

But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
