Psalms 63

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

¹O God, thou <add>art</add> my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

²To see thy power and thy glory, so <add>as</add> I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

³Because thy lovingkindness <add>is</add> better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

⁴Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

⁵My soul shall be satisfied as <add>with</add> marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise <add>thee</add> with joyful lips:

⁶When I remember thee upon my bed, <add>and</add> meditate on thee in the <add>night</add> watches.

⁷Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

⁸My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

⁹But those <add>that</add> seek my soul, to destroy <add>it</add>, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

¹⁰They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

¹¹But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
