Psalm 63

63:1 Unto the end, a psalm for David.

63:2 In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.

63:3 For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips will praise.

63:4 Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.

63:5 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

63:6 If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:

63:7 Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:

63:8 My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.

63:9 But they have fought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:

63:10 They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.

63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
