◄ Psalm 63 ►

International Standard Version

Christian Standard Bible

1God, you are my God! I will fervently seek you. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you in a dry, weary, and parched land.

1God, you are my God; I eagerly seek you. I thirst for you; my body faints for you in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.

2So I have looked for you in the sanctuary, to behold your power and glory.

2So I gaze on you in the sanctuary to see your strength and your glory.

3Because your gracious love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you.

3My lips will glorify you because your faithful love is better than life.

4So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in your name.

4So I will bless you as long as I live; at your name, I will lift up my hands.

5Just as I am satisfied with the choicest of foods, so my lips will praise you joyfully.

5You satisfy me as with rich food; my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.

6When I think of you in bed, I will meditate on you in the night watches.

6When I think of you as I lie on my bed, I meditate on you during the night watches

7For you have been my strength, and in the shadow of your wings I will shout for joy.

7because you are my helper; I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

8My soul clings to you, even as your right hand supports me.

8I follow close to you; your right hand holds on to me.

9But as for those who seek to destroy me, they will go down to the depths of the earth;

9But those who intend to destroy my life will go into the depths of the earth.

10May they be given over to the power of the sword; may they become carrion for jackals.

10They will be given over to the power of the sword; they will become a meal for jackals.

11But as for the king, he will rejoice in God. Indeed, everyone who swears by God will exult, because the mouths of liars will be silenced.

11But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by him will boast, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
