Psalm 63 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

The Thirsting Soul satisfied in God.

Psa 63:1
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee:
My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee,
In a dry and weary land, where no water is.
Psa 63:2
So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary,
To see thy power and thy glory.
Psa 63:3
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise thee.
Psa 63:4
So will I bless thee while I live:
I will lift up my hands in thy name.
Psa 63:5
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;
And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips;
Psa 63:6
When I remember thee upon my bed,
And meditate on thee in the night-watches.
Psa 63:7
For thou hast been my help,
And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
Psa 63:8
My soul followeth hard after thee:
Thy right hand upholdeth me.
Psa 63:9
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it,
Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
Psa 63:10
They shall be given over to the power of the sword:
They shall be a portion for foxes.
Psa 63:11
But the king shall rejoice in God:
Every one that sweareth by him shall glory;
For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
