63:1 A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou [art] my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.

63:2 So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.

63:3 Because better [is] Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.

63:4 So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.

63:5 As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips doth my mouth praise.

63:6 If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches -- I meditate on Thee.

63:7 For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.

63:8 Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.

63:9 And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.

63:10 They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.
