Psalms 63 - Amplified Bible(AMP)

The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.

A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

1O God, You are my God; with deepest longing I will seek You;

My soul thirsts for You, my flesh longs and sighs for You,

In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

2So I have gazed upon You in the sanctuary,

To see Your power and Your glory.

3Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,

My lips shall praise You.

4So will I bless You as long as I live;

I will lift up my hands in Your name.

5My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,

And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

6¶When I remember You on my bed,

I meditate and thoughtfully focus on You in the night watches,

7For You have been my help,

And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.

8My soul clings to You;

Your right hand upholds me.

9¶But those who seek my life to destroy it

Will go into the depths of the earth.

10They will be given over to the power of the sword;

They will be a prey for foxes.

11But the king will rejoice in God;

Everyone who swears by Him will glory,

For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
