Psalm 63Praise God Who Satisfies
-
God, you are my God; I eagerly seek you. I thirst for you; my body faints for you in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.
-
So I gaze on you in the sanctuary to see your strength and your glory.
-
My lips will glorify you because your faithful love is better than life.
-
So I will bless you as long as I live; at your name, I will lift up my hands.
-
You satisfy me as with rich food; my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.
-
When I think of you as I lie on my bed, I meditate on you during the night watches
-
because you are my helper; I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
-
I follow close to you; your right hand holds on to me.
-
But those who intend to destroy my life will go into the depths of the earth.
-
They will be given over to the power of the sword; they will become a meal for jackals.
-
But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by him will boast, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
