Psalm 63 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

Praise God Who Satisfies

A psalm of David. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah.

Psa 63:1

God, 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.

Psa 63:2

So I gaze on you in the sanctuary

to see your strength and your glory.

Psa 63:3

My lips will glorify you

because your faithful love is better than life.

Psa 63:4

So I will bless you as long as I live;

at your name, I will lift up my hands.

Psa 63:5

You satisfy me as with rich food;[fn]

my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.

Psa 63:6

When I think of you as I lie on my bed,

I meditate on you during the night watches

Psa 63:7

because you are my helper;

I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

Psa 63:8

I follow close to you;

your right hand holds on to me.

Psa 63:9

But those who intend to destroy my life

will go into the depths of the earth.

Psa 63:10

They will be given over to the power of the sword;

they will become a meal for jackals.

Psa 63:11

But the king will rejoice in God;

all who swear by him will boast,

for the mouths of liars will be shut.
