63
1 God, you are my God;
I seek you earnestly.
My soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and weary land without water.
2 So I have beheld you in the sanctuary, to see your power and your glory.
3 For your steadfast love is better than life;
my lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift my hands.
5 My soul will be satisfied as with rich, choice food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
6 when I remember you on my bed and meditate on you through the watches of the night.
7 For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
8 My soul clings to you;
your right hand supports me.
9 But those who seek to destroy my life will go down to the depths of the earth.
10 They will be given over to the power of the sword;
they will be a portion for jackals.
11 But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by him will boast, for the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
