Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 63

O God, You are my God; earnestly I seek You!

My soul thirsts for You,
my whole being longs for You,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

I have seen You in the sanctuary,
beheld Your power and Your glory.

Because Your love is greater than life itself,
my lips will praise You.

I will bless You as long as I live,
lifting my hands in reverence to Your name.

My soul is satisfied, as with the richest of feasts,
and with joyful lips, I offer You praise.

Through the watches of the night, I remember You;
I meditate on You as I rest in my bed.

For You have been my help,
and in the shadow of Your wings, I sing for joy.

My soul clings to You,
Your strong hand upholds me.

Those who seek to harm me will fall away,
but I will rejoice in You, O God!

For every heart that trusts in You will be lifted high,
and every deceitful tongue will fade into silence.
