63:1 God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you, My flesh longs for you, In a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

63:2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, Watching your power and your glory.

63:3 Because your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise you.

63:4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

63:6 When I remember you on my bed, And think about you in the night watches.

63:7 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

63:8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

63:9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

63:10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
