Psalms 63

¹ O Elohim, You are my El! Early am I seeking You. My soul thirsts for You. My flesh craves for You, Like a land arid and faint, without water. ² So longing, in the Sanctuary, I envisioned You, Beholding Your strength and Your glory; ³ For Your benignity is better than life itself. My lips, they shall laud You. ⁴ So shall I bless You in all my life. In Your Name shall I lift up my palms, ⁵ As with fatness and richness my soul shall be satisfied, And with jubilant lips my mouth shall praise. ⁶ When I remember You on my berth, In night vigils shall I soliloquize about You. ⁷ For You became my Help, And in the shadow of Your wings shall I be jubilant. ⁸ My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me. ⁹ As for those who are seeking my soul for its ruination, May they come into the nether parts of the earth. ¹⁰ Those who would topple him down by means of the sword, May they become an assigned portion for jackals. ¹¹ Yet the king is rejoicing in Elohim. Everyone who is swearing by Him shall boast, But the mouth of those speaking falsehood shall be held in check.
