63:1 A psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Y’hudah:
63:2 O God, you are my God; I will seek you eagerly. My heart thirsts for you, my body longs for you in a land parched and exhausted, where no water can be found.
63:3 I used to contemplate you in the sanctuary, seeing your power and glory;
63:4 for your grace is better than life. My lips will worship you.
63:5 Yes, I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.
63:6 I am as satisfied as with rich food; my mouth praises you with joy on my lips
63:7 when I remember you on my bed and meditate on you in the night watches.
63:8 For you have been my help; in the shadow of your wings I rejoice;
63:9 my heart clings to you; your right hand supports me.
63:10 But those who seek to destroy my life — may they go to the lowest parts of the earth.
63:11 May they be given over to the power of the sword; may they become prey for jackals.
