Psalm 63 :: New English Translation (NET)

Psa 63:1O God, you are my God! I long for you! My soul thirsts for you, my flesh yearns for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
Psa 63:2Yes, in the sanctuary I have seen you, and witnessed your power and splendor.
Psa 63:3Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you.
Psa 63:4For this reason I will praise you while I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.
Psa 63:5As if with choice meat you satisfy my soul. My mouth joyfully praises you,
Psa 63:6whenever I remember you on my bed, and think about you during the nighttime hours.
Psa 63:7For you are my deliverer; under your wings I rejoice.
Psa 63:8My soul pursues you; your right hand upholds me.
Psa 63:9Enemies seek to destroy my life, but they will descend into the depths of the earth.
Psa 63:10Each one will be handed over to the sword; their corpses will be eaten by jackals.
Psa 63:11But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who takes oaths in his name will boast, for the mouths of those who speak lies will be shut up.
