Psalms 63
The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.
1 God, (C1)You are my God; I shall be watching for You;
My soul (C2)thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a (C3)dry and exhausted land where there is no water.
2 So have I (C1)seen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and glory.
3 Because Your (F1)(C1)favor is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
4 So I will bless You (C1)as long as I live;
I will (C2)lift up my hands in Your name.
5 My soul is (C1)satisfied as with fat and fatness,
And my mouth offers (C2)praises with joyful lips.
6 When I remember You (C1)on my bed,
I meditate on You in the (C2)night watches,
7 For (C1)You have been my help,
And in the (C2)shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
8 My soul (C1)clings (F1)to You;
Your (C2)right hand takes hold of me.
9 But those who (C1)seek my (F1)life to destroy it,
Will go into the (F2)(C2)depths of the earth.
10 (F1)They will be (F2)(C1)turned over to the power of the sword;
They will be a (F3)(C2)prey for foxes.
11 But the (C1)king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who (C2)swears by Him will boast,
For the (C3)mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
