# Chapter 63
|
|
1 O God, you are my God;
|
|
I earnestly search for you.
|
|
My soul thirsts for you;
|
|
my whole body longs for you
|
|
in this parched and weary land
|
|
where there is no water.
|
|
2 I have seen you in your sanctuary
|
|
and gazed upon your power and glory.
|
|
3 Your unfailing love is better than life itself;
|
|
how I praise you!
|
|
4 I will praise you as long as I live,
|
|
lifting up my hands to you in prayer.
|
|
5 You satisfy me more than the richest feast.
|
|
I will praise you with songs of joy.
|
|
6 I lie awake thinking of you,
|
|
meditating on you through the night.
|
|
7 Because you are my helper,
|
|
I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.
|
|
8 I cling to you;
|
|
your strong right hand holds me securely.
|
|
9 But those plotting to destroy me will come to ruin.
|
|
They will go down into the depths of the earth.
|
|
10 They will die by the sword
|
|
and become the food of jackals.
|
|
11 But the king will rejoice in God.
|
|
All who swear to tell the truth will praise him,
|
|
while liars will be silenced. |
