Psalm 63

April 27, 2007
Praise God Who Satisfies

1 God, You are my God; I eagerly seek You.
I thirst for You;
my body faints for You
in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.

2 So I gaze on You in the sanctuary
to see Your strength and Your glory.

3 My lips will glorify You
because Your faithful love is better than life
.

4 So I will praise You as long as I live;
at Your name, I will lift up my hands.

5 You satisfy me as with rich food;
my mouth will praise You with joyful lips.

6 When, on my bed, I think of You,
I meditate on You during the night watches

7 because You are my help;
I will rejoice in the shadow of Your wings.

8 I follow close to You;
Your right hand holds on to me.

9 But those who seek to destroy my life
will go into the depths of the earth.

10 They will be given over to the power of the sword;
they will become the jackals’ prey.

11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will boast,
for the mouths of liars will be shut.
