63 1 O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where no water is.
63 2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
63 3 Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
63 4 So I will bless you as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands and call on your name.
63 5 My soul is feasted as with marrow and fat,
and my mouth praises you with joyful lips,
63 6 when I think of you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
63 7 for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
63 8 My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.
63 9 But those who seek to destroy my life
shall go down into the depths of the earth;
63 10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword,
they shall be prey for jackals.
63 11 But the king shall rejoice in God;
all who swear by him shall glory;
for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
