Psalms 63-65
Chapter 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.
Chapter 64
Prayer for Rescue from Secret Enemies.
1 Hear my voice, God, in (C1)my (F1)complaint;
(C2)Protect my life from dread of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the (C1)secret discussion of evildoers,
From the restlessness of (C2)the workers of injustice,
3 Who (C1)have sharpened their tongues like a sword.
They (C2)aimed bitter speech as their arrows,
4 To (C1)shoot (F1)from concealment at the innocent;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and (C2)do not fear.
5 They make firm for themselves an evil (F1)purpose;
They (F2)talk of (C1)setting snares secretly;
They say, "(C2)Who can see them?"
6 They (F1)devise injustices, saying,
"We are (F2)ready with a well-conceived plot";
For the (F3)(C1)inward thought and the heart of a person are (F4)deep.
7 But (C1)God (F1)will shoot an arrow at them;
Suddenly (F2)they will be wounded.
8 So (F1)they (F2)will (C1)make him stumble;
(C2)Their own tongue is against them;
All who see them will (C3)shake their heads.
9 Then all people (F1)will (C1)fear,
And they (F2)will (C2)declare the work of God,
And (F3)will consider (F4)what He has done.
10 The righteous person will be (C1)glad in the LORD and (C2)take refuge in Him;
And all the upright in heart will boast.
Chapter 65
God's Abundant Favor to Earth and Mankind.
1 There will be silence (F1)before You, and praise in Zion, God,
And the (C1)vow will be fulfilled for You.
2 You who hear prayer,
To You (C1)all (F1)mankind comes.
3 (F1)(C1)Wrongdoings prevail against me;
As for our offenses, You (F2)(C2)forgive them.
4 (C1)Blessed is the one You (C2)choose and allow to approach You;
He will dwell in Your courtyards.
We will be (C3)satisfied with the goodness of Your house,
Your holy temple.
5 By (C1)awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, (C2)God of our salvation,
You who are the trust of all the (C3)ends of the earth and the farthest (F1)(C4)sea;
6 Who (C1)establishes the mountains by His strength,
Who is (C2)encircled with might;
7 Who (C1)stills the roaring of the seas,
The roaring of their waves,
And the (C2)turmoil of the nations.
8 They who dwell at the (C1)ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs;
You make the (F1)sunrise and the sunset shout for joy.
9 You visit the earth and (C1)cause it to overflow;
You greatly (C2)enrich it;
The (F1)(C3)stream of God is full of water;
You prepare their (C4)grain, for so You prepare (F2)the earth.
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
You (F1)settle its ridges,
You soften it (C1)with showers,
You bless its growth.
11 You have crowned the year (F1)with Your (C1)goodness,
And Your (F2)paths (C2)drip with fatness.
12 (C1)The pastures of the wilderness drip,
And the (C2)hills encircle themselves with rejoicing.
13 The meadows are (C1)clothed with flocks
And the valleys are (C2)covered with grain;
They (C3)shout for joy, yes, they sing.
