Psalm 63

New Coverdale Version

O God, you are my God; * early will I seek you.

My soul thirsts for you, my flesh also longs after you, * in a barren and dry land where there is no water.

Thus I have looked upon you in your holy place, * that I might behold your power and glory.

For your loving-kindness is better than life itself; * my lips shall praise you.

As long as I live I will magnify you, * and lift up my hands in your Name.

My soul shall be satisfied, as with marrow and fatness, * when my mouth praises you with joyful lips.

When I remember you on my bed, * I meditate on you in the watches of the night.

Because you have been my helper, * therefore under the shadow of your wings I will rejoice.

My soul clings to you; * your right hand has upheld me.

Those who seek to destroy my life * shall go down into the earth.

Let them fall upon the edge of the sword, * that they may be a portion for jackals.

But the King shall rejoice in God; all those who swear by him shall be commended, * for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
