Psalm 63
A Poetic Amplification
O God, You are my God—earnestly I seek You.
Before the sun climbs over the hills, my soul thirsts for You.
My flesh faints for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
I have seen You in the sanctuary, beheld Your power and Your glory.
O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; my soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. (Psalm 63:1)
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You.
So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift up my hands. (Psalm 63:3-4)
When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.
For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy. (Psalm 63:6-7)
But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.
They will be given over to the power of the sword; they will be prey for jackals.
But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him will glory,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him will glory, for the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped. (Psalm 63:11)
So I seek You, Lord, in the morning.
I cling to You in the night.
Your lovingkindness is my portion,
Your right hand my delight.
Amen.
