King James VersionPsalms63

Psalms

1 O God, thou art my God; ear­ly will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no wa­ter is;
2 To see thy pow­er and thy glo­ry, so as I have seen thee in the sanc­tu­ary.
3 Be­cause thy lov­ingkind­ness is bet­ter than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be sat­is­fied as with mar­row and fat­ness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joy­ful lips:
6 When I re­mem­ber thee upon my bed, and med­i­tate on thee in the night watch­es.
7 Be­cause thou hast been my help, there­fore in the shad­ow of thy wings will I re­joice.
8 My soul fol­loweth hard af­ter thee: thy right hand up­hold­eth me.
9 But those that seek my soul, to de­stroy it, shall go into the low­er parts of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a por­tion for fox­es.
11 But the king shall re­joice in God; ev­ery one that sweareth by him shall glo­ry: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
