Psalm 63 - The Scriptures 2009

¹ O Elohim, You are my Ěl; I earnestly seek You; My being has thirsted for You; My flesh has longed for You In a dry and thirsty land without water.

² Therefore I have had a vision of You In the set-apart place, To see Your power and Your esteem.

³ Because Your loving-commitment is better than life, My lips do praise You.

⁴ Therefore I bless You while I live; In Your Name I lift up my hands.

⁵ My being is satisfied as with marrow and fat, And my mouth praises You with singing lips.

⁶ When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.

⁷ For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing.

⁸ My being has closely followed You; Your right hand did uphold me.

⁹ But those who seek to destroy my life, Go into the lower parts of the earth.

¹⁰ They are handed over To the power of the sword; They become a portion for jackals.

¹¹ But let the sovereign rejoice in Elohim; Let everyone who swears by Him exult; For the mouth of those speaking lies is stopped.
