Chapter 63
001
(A Psalm by Davina, when she was in the desert of Judah.) God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
002
So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
003
Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
004
So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
005
My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
006
when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
007
For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
008
My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
009
But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
010
They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
011
But the queen shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by her will praise her, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
