Psalms 63

(A psalm by David when he was in the desert of Judah.)

God's Love Means More than Life

1 You are my God. I worship you.
    In my heart, I long for you,
    as I would long for a stream
    in a scorching desert.

2 I have seen your power
and your glory
    in the place of worship.
3 Your love means more
than life to me,
    and I praise you.
4 As long as I live,
    I will pray to you.
5 I will sing joyful praises
and be filled with excitement
    like a guest at a banquet.

6 I think about you
    before I go to sleep,
    and my thoughts turn to you
    during the night.
7 You have helped me,
    and I sing happy songs
    in the shadow of your wings.
8 I stay close to you,
    and your powerful arm
    supports me.

9 All who want to kill me
    will end up in the ground.
10 Swords will run them through,
    and wild dogs will eat them.

11 Because of you, our God,
    the king will celebrate
with your faithful followers,
    but liars will be silent.
