Psalm #63 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.

Psalm 63 (New International Version)

Psalm 63

A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

 ¹ O God, you are my God,
       earnestly I seek you;
       my soul thirsts for you,
       my body longs for you,
       in a dry and weary land
       where there is no water. ² I have seen you in the sanctuary
       and beheld your power and your glory.
 ³ Because your love is better than life,
       my lips will glorify you.
 ⁴ I will praise you as long as I live,
       and in your name I will lift up my hands.
 ⁵ My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
       with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
 ⁶ On my bed I remember you;
       I think of you through the watches of the night.
 ⁷ Because you are my help,
       I sing in the shadow of your wings.
 ⁸ My soul clings to you;
       your right hand upholds me.
 ⁹ They who seek my life will be destroyed;
       they will go down to the depths of the earth.
 ¹⁰ They will be given over to the sword
       and become food for jackals.
 ¹¹ But the king will rejoice in God;
       all who swear by God's name will praise him,
       while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
