O God, you are my God.
Psalm 63 A psalm of David, written when he was in the Judean wilderness.
63:1 O God, you are my God. I long for you. My soul thirsts for you, my flesh yearns for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. 63:2 Yes, in the sanctuary I have seen you, and witnessed your power and splendor. 63:3 63:4 For this reason I will praise you while I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. 63:5 As with choice meat you satisfy my soul. My mouth joyfully praises you, 63:6 whenever I remember you on my bed, and think about you during the nighttime hours. 63:7 For you are my deliverer; under your wings I rejoice. 63:8 My soul pursues you; your right hand upholds me. 63:9 Enemies seek to destroy my life, but they will descend into the depths of the earth. 63:10 Each one will be handed over to the sword; their corpses will be eaten by jackals. 63:11 But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who takes oaths in his name will boast, for the mouths of those who speak lies will be shut up.
