1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

Psalms 63

1 David's thirst for God. 4 His manner of blessing God. 9 His confidence of his enemies' destruction, and his own safety.

 63:1 ¶ [[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 languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:

 63:2 To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;

 63:3 For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.

 63:4 So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.

 63:5 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips.

 63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:

 63:7 For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.

 63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

 63:9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth;

 63:10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes.

 63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
