The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 63. A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah. God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water. So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory. Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you. So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name. My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches. For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings. My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up. But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth. They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food. But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.

Worship Lyrics

A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah
God, you are my God
I will earnestly seek you
My soul thirsts for you
My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water
So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory
Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you
So I will bless you while I live
I will lift up my hands in your name
My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food
My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips
When I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches
For you have been my help
I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings
My soul stays close to you
Your right hand holds me up
But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth
They shall be given over to the power of the sword
They shall be jackal food
But the king shall rejoice in God
Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced
