“1 ¶ <<A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.>> O
God, thou [art] 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; 2 To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in
the sanctuary.”
“3 ¶ Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall
praise thee. 4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my
hands in thy name. 5 My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and
fatness; and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips: 6 When I
remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the [night]
watches.”
“7 ¶ Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy
wings will I rejoice. 8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right
hand upholdeth me. 9 But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it],
shall go into the lower parts of the earth. 10 They shall fall by the
sword: they shall be a portion for foxes. 11 But 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.” (Psalms 63:1-11 AV)
