Psalms 63
1 O Lorde thou art my Lorde: early in the morning I do seeke thee.2 My soule thirsteth for thee: my fleshe also longeth after thee in a baren and drye lande [where] no water is.
3 [To see thee] euen so [as] I haue seene thee in the sanctuary: that I might beholde thy power and glory.4 For thy louing kindnes is better then life [itselfe]: my lippes shall prayse thee.5 As long as I liue I wyll blesse thee on this maner: and in thy name I wyll lyft vp my handes.6 My soule is satisfied euen as it were with mary and fatnes: and my mouth prayseth thee with ioyfull lippes.
7 Haue I not remembred thee in my bed: and thought vpon thee when I was waking?8 Because thou hast ben my helper: therfore vnder the shadowe of thy wynges do I reioyce.9 My soule cleaueth fast vnto thee: thy right hande hath vpholden me.10 And they [that] seeke my soule to oppresse [it]: shall go vnder the earth.11 Euery one of them shalbe killed with the edge of a sworde: and they shalbe a portion for Foxes. But the king shal reioyce in the Lord, al they shal glory that sweare by him: for the mouth of all them that speake a lye, shalbe stopped.
