Psalm 63

¹ O God, my GOD, thou art, Earnestly do I desire thee, - My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh fainteth for thee, In a land - dry, and weary for want of water, -

¹ {A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

¹ A Psalm of David, ^(a)when he was in the wilderness of Judah.O God, ^(A)You are my God; I shall seek You ^(b)earnestly;My soul ^(B)thirsts for You, my flesh ^(c)yearns for You,In a ^(C)dry and weary land where there is no water.

¹ A Davidic psalm. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah.^(A)God, You are my God; I eagerly seek You.I thirst for You;my body faints for Youin a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.^(B)

¹ God, you are my God! I will fervently seek you. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you in a dry, weary, and parched land.

³ Thus, will I bless thee while I live, In thy Name, will I lift up mine outspread hands:

³ Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

³ Because Your ^(E)lovingkindness is better than life,My lips will praise You.

³ My lips will glorify Youbecause Your faithful love is better than life.^(D)

³ Because your gracious love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you.

⁵ Should I call thee to mind upon my conch, In the watches of the night, would I breathe soft speech of thee.

⁵ My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

⁵ My soul is ^(H)satisfied as with ^(d)marrow and fatness,And my mouth offers ^(I)praises with joyful lips.

⁵ You satisfy me as with rich food;^(a)(F)my mouth will praise You with joyful lips.^(G)

⁵ Just as I am satisfied with the choicest of foods, so my lips will praise you joyfully.

⁷ My soul hath run clinging to thee, On me, hath thy right hand laid hold.

⁷ Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

⁷ For ^(L)You have been my help,And in the ^(M)shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.

⁷ because You are my helper;^(I)I will rejoice in the shadow of Your wings.^(J)

⁷ For you have been my strength, and in the shadow of your wings I will shout for joy.

⁹ Every one shall be given up into the power of the sword, The portion of jackals, shall they become.

⁹ But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

⁹ But those who ^(P)seek my ^(f)life to destroy it,Will go into the ^(g)(Q)depths of the earth.

⁹ But those who seek to destroy my lifewill go into the depths of the earth.^(L)

⁹ But as for those who seek to destroy me, they will go down to the depths of the earth;
