Psa 63:1
A Psalm of David. [fn]When he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God H430, You are my God H410; I shall seek H7836 You [fn]earnestly H7836;
My soul H5315 thirsts H6770 for You, my flesh H1320 [fn]yearns H3642 for You,
In a dry H6723 and weary H5889 land H776 without H1097 water H4325.
Psa 63:2
Thus H3651 I have beheld H2372 You in the sanctuary H6944,
To see H7200 Your power H5797 and Your glory H3519.
Psa 63:3
Because H3588 Your lovingkindness H2617 is better H2896 than H4480 life H2416,
My lips H8193 will laud H7623 You.
Psa 63:4
Thus H3651 I will bless H1288 You as long as I live H2416;
I will lift H5375 up H5375 my hands H3709 in Your name H8034.
Psa 63:5
My soul H5315 is H7646 satisfied H7646 as with fatness H2459 and richness H1880,
And my mouth H6310 offers H1984 praises H1984 with lips H8193 of joyful H7445 songs H7445.
Psa 63:6
When H518 I remember H2142 You on my bed H3326,
I meditate H1897 on You in the night watches H821,
Psa 63:7
For You have been H1961 my help H5833,
And in the shadow H6738 of Your wings H3671 I sing H7442 for H7442 joy H7442.
Psa 63:8
My soul H5315 clings H1692 [fn]to You;
Your right H3225 hand H3225 upholds H8551 me.
Psa 63:9
But those H1992 who seek H1245 my [fn]life H5315 to destroy H7722 it,
Will go H935 into the [fn]depths H8482 of the earth H776.
Psa 63:10
[fn]They will be delivered H5064 over H5064 to the power H3027 of the sword H2719;
They will be a portion H4521 for foxes H7776.
Psa 63:11
But the king H4428 will be glad H8055 in God H430;
Everyone H3605 who swears H7650 by Him will boast H1984,
For the mouths H6310 of those who speak H1696 lies H8267 will be closed H5534.
