63:1 A psalm of David when he was hiding in the wilderness of Judea. O God, my God! How I search for you! How I thirst for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. How I long to find you!
63:2 How I wish I could go into your sanctuary to see your strength and glory,
63:3 for your love and kindness are better to me than life itself. How I praise you!
63:4 I will bless you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer.
63:5 At last I shall be fully satisfied; I will praise you with great joy.
63:7 of how much you have helped me—and how I rejoice through the night beneath the protecting shadow of your wings.
63:8 I follow close behind you, protected by your strong right arm.
63:9 But those plotting to destroy me shall go down to the depths of hell.
63:10 They are doomed to die by the sword, to become the food of jackals.
63:11 But I will rejoice in God. All who trust in him exult, while liars shall be silenced.
