Psalms 63: (ASV)
|
1) O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is.
|
2) So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, To see thy power and thy glory.
|
3) Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise thee.
|
4) So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
|
5) My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips;
|
6) When I remember thee upon my bed, And meditate on thee in the night-watches.
|
7) For thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
|
8) My soul followeth hard after thee: Thy right hand upholdeth me.
|
9) But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
|
10) They shall be given over to the power of the sword: They shall be a portion for foxes.
|
11) But the king shall rejoice in God: Every one that sweareth by him shall glory; For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
