Psalm 63:1-Psalm 64:1 - Praise God Who Satisfies
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. 2 So I have looked for you in the sanctuary, to behold your power and glory. 3 Because your gracious love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you. 4 So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in your name. 5 Just as I am satisfied with the choicest of foods, so my lips will praise you joyfully.
6 When I think of you in bed, I will meditate on you in the night watches. 7 For you have been my strength, and in the shadow of your wings I will shout for joy. 8 My soul clings to you, even as your right hand supports me.
9 But as for those who seek to destroy me, they will go down to the depths of the earth; 10 May they be given over to the power of the sword; may they become carrion for jackals. 11 But as for the king, he will rejoice in God. Indeed, everyone who swears by God will exult, because the mouths of liars will be silenced. To the Director: A Davidic Psalm.
1 Hear, God, as I express my concern; protect me from fear of the enemy.
