Psalm 63



O God, thou art my God;
        
early will I seek thee:
my soul thirsts for thee,
my flesh longs for thee in a dry and thirsty land,
where no water is;
to see thy power and thy glory,
        
so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

Because thy loving-kindness is better than life,
        
my lips shall praise thee.

Thus will I bless thee while I live:
        
I will lift up my hands in thy name.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;
        
and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
when I remember thee upon my bed,
        
and meditate on thee in the night watches.

Because thou hast been my help,
        
therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
My soul follows hard after thee:
        
thy right hand upholds me.

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it,
        
shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
They shall fall by the sword:
        
they shall be a portion for foxes.
But the king shall rejoice in God;
        
every one that swears by him shall glory:
but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
