Psalms 63
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1God, you are my God. I am searching so hard to find you. Body and soul, I thirst for you in this dry and weary land without water.
- 2Yes, I have seen you in your Temple.[1] I have seen your strength and glory.
- 3Your faithful love is better than life, so my lips praise you.
- 4By my life, I will praise you. In your name, I lift my hands in prayer.
- 5When I sit down to satisfy my hunger, my joyful lips hunger to praise you!
- 6I remember you while lying on my bed. I think about you in the middle of the night.
- 7That is because you are the one who helps me. It makes me happy to be under your protection!
- 8I stay close to you, and you hold me with your powerful arm.
- 9Those who are trying to kill me will be destroyed. They will go down to their graves.
- 10They will be killed with swords. Wild dogs will eat their dead bodies.
- 11But the king will be happy with his God, and those who promised to obey him will praise him when he defeats those liars.
