Psalm 63 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Psa 63:1

Psa 63:1<A Psalm. Of David. When he was in the waste land of Judah.> O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;

Psa 63:2

Psa 63:2To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.

Psa 63:3

Psa 63:3Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.

Psa 63:4

Psa 63:4So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.

Psa 63:5

Psa 63:5My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;

Psa 63:6

Psa 63:6When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time.

Psa 63:7

Psa 63:7Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.

Psa 63:8

Psa 63:8My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.

Psa 63:9

Psa 63:9But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth.

Psa 63:10

Psa 63:10They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food for foxes.

Psa 63:11

Psa 63:11But the king will have joy in God; everyone who takes an oath by him will have cause for pride; but the false mouth will be stopped.
