Ps 63
1
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. - O God, my God, I cry
to you early; my soul has thirsted for you: how often has my flesh longed after you,
in a barren and trackless and dry land!
2
Thus have I appeared before you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and
your glory.
3
For your mercy is better than Gr. lives life: my lips shall praise you.
4
Thus will I bless you during my life: I will lift up my hands in your name.
5
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and my joyful lips shall praise
your name.
6
Gr. if; See Ac 26:23 Seeing that as I have remembered you on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated
on you.
7
For you have been my helper, and in the shelter of your wings will I rejoice.
8
My soul has Gr. been glued kept very close behind you: your right hand has upheld me.
9
But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts of the earth.
10
They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.
11
But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised;
for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
