Chapter 63

1

 A Psalm. Of David. When he was in the waste land of Judah.
O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is; 


2

 To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place. 


3

 Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise. 


4

 So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name. 


5

 My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy; 


6

 When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time. 


7

 Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings. 


8

 My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support. 


9

 But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth. 


10

 They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food for foxes. 


11

 But the king will have joy in God; everyone who takes an oath by him will have cause for pride; but the false mouth will be stopped.
