1(63-1) A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. (63-2) O God, Thou art my God, earnestly will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is.
1O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.
2(63-3) So have I looked for Thee in the sanctuary, to see Thy power and Thy glory.
2So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.
3(63-4) For Thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise Thee.

4So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.
5(63-6) My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth doth praise Thee with joyful lips;
5My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.

10(63-11) They shall be hurled to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes.
10They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.

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