Psalm 63 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 63:1(LXX 62:1) A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. (62:2) O God, my God, I cry to thee early; my soul has thirsted for thee: how often has my flesh longed after thee, in a barren and trackless and dry land!
Psa 63:2(LXX 62:3) Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, that I might see thy power and thy glory.
Psa 63:3(LXX 62:4) For thy mercy is better than [fn]life: my lips shall praise thee.
Psa 63:4(LXX 62:5) Thus will I bless thee during my life: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
Psa 63:5(LXX 62:6) Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and my joyful lips shall praise thy name.
Psa 63:6(LXX 62:7) [fn]Forasmuch as I have remembered thee on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on thee.
Psa 63:7(LXX 62:8) For thou hast been my helper, and in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.
Psa 63:8(LXX 62:9) My soul has [fn]kept very close behind thee: thy right hand has upheld me.
Psa 63:9(LXX 62:10) But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts of the earth.
Psa 63:10(LXX 62:11) They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.
Psa 63:11(LXX 62:12) But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
