Psalms 63 King James (Authorized) Version
A dry and weary land, cracked ground running away to bare hills.

Psalms 63

King James (Authorized) Version · 11 verses

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