Psalm 63
Vers 1
You are my God, I seek your face
O God, for you I thirst and languish;
for you my flesh grows faint with anguish
here in this dry and weary place.
When I stood in your sanctuary,
where you are worshipped and adored,
I there beheld your greatness, Lord,
and marvelled at your power and glory.
Vers 2
Your steadfast love is better far
than life itself, O God my Saviour.
Your faithfulness will never waver;
my lips your praises will declare.
With joyful singing I will bless you
and all my life your love proclaim.
With hands uplifted in your name,
I will in thankful prayer address you.
Vers 3
You fill my soul with rich delight
as with the joys of lavish feasting,
and as I meditate while resting,
I think of you throughout the night.
I cling to you, my strong deliverer,
and in the shadow of your wings
my joyful praise I shout and sing,
for your right hand upholds me ever.
Vers 4
When foes your servant seek to slay,
in yawning pits will earth receive them.
The sharpened sword will sorely grieve them;
they will become the jackal’s prey.
But then the king in God will glory
with all who swear by his great name,
for liars he will put to shame
and silence every adversary.
