Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 63
A psalm of David, when he was in the Judean desert.
God, you are my God, I eagerly look for you. I am thirsty for you; all that I am longs for you in this dry, weary, waterless land.
I see you in the Temple; I watch your power and glory.
Your trustworthy love is better than life itself; I will praise you.
I will thank you as long as I live; I lift up my hands as I celebrate your wonderful character.63:4. Literally, “to your name.”
You satisfy me more than the richest food; I will praise you with joyful songs.
I think of you all night long as I lie on my bed meditating about you.
For you are the one who helps me; I sing happily from under your wings.
I hold on to you; your strong arms lift me up.
Those who are trying to destroy me will go down into the grave.
They will be killed by the sword; they will become food for jackals.
But the king will be happy for what God has done. All who follow God63:11. “Follow God”: literally, “swear by God.” will praise him, but those who tell lies will be silenced.
