Psalms 63

63 ¹ My Father, you are my Father; I seek you with all my heart. My soul thirsts for you, my whole body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. ² So I have gazed on you in the sanctuary and seen your power and your glory. ³ Because your covenant love is better than life, my lips will praise you. ⁴ So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. ⁵ My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods, and with joyful lips my mouth praises you.

⁶ When I remember you on my bed, and meditate on you through the long hours of the night. ⁷ For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy. ⁸ My soul clings to you; your right hand holds me fast.

⁹ But those who seek to destroy my life will go down into the depths of the earth. ¹⁰ They will be given over to the sword; they will become food for jackals. ¹¹ But the king will rejoice in our Father; all who swear by him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be silenced.
