63:001

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah

63:002

O G-d, Thou art my G-d, 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

63:003

So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory

63:004

For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee

63:005

So will I bless Thee as long as I live; in Thy name will I lift up my hands

63:006

My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips

63:007

When I remember Thee upon my couch, and meditate on Thee in the night-watches

63:008

For Thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of Thy wings do I rejoice

63:009

My soul cleaveth unto Thee; Thy right hand holdeth me fast

63:010

But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the nethermost parts of the earth

63:011

They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes

63:012

But the king shall rejoice in G-d; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped
