Psalm 63
O God, you are my God; I earnestly seek you.
My soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
in a dry and weary land without water.
Thus I have beheld you in the sanctuary,
seeing your power and your glory.
Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips
when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the night watches.
For you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.
But those who seek to destroy my life
shall go down into the depths of the earth;
they shall be given over to the power of the sword;
they shall be the portion of jackals.
But the king shall rejoice in God;
all who swear by him shall exult,
for the mouths of liars shall be stopped.
