1. God, you are my God. Eagerly I seek you.
   My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you,
   in a dry and dreary land without water.
   Yes, in the sanctuary I have watched you
   to see your power and your glory.

   Because your mercy is better than life,
   my lips will worship you.
   Yes, I will bless you as long as I live.
   In your name I will lift up my hands.
   My soul will be satisfied with rich food.[b]
   My mouth will praise you with lips filled with songs.
   Whenever I remember you on my bed,
   throughout the watches of the night I meditate on you.
   Because you are a help for me,
   I sing for joy under the shade of your wings.
   My soul clings to you.
   Your right hand upholds me.

   But those who seek my life will go to destruction.
   They will go into the depths of the earth.
   They will be given over to the power of the sword.
   They will become food for foxes.[c]
   But the king will rejoice in God.
   All who swear by him will praise him,
   but the mouths of those speaking lies will be shut.
   – Psalm 63 (EHV)
