My Soul Thirsts for You

A Psalm of David, (A)when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

63 
O God, you are my God; (B)earnestly I seek you;
©my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in (D)a dry and weary land where there is no water.
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding (E)your power and glory.
Because your (F)steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you (G)as long as I live;
in your (H)name I will (I)lift up my hands.

My soul will be (J)satisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
when I remember you (K)upon my bed,
and meditate on you in (L)the watches of the night;
for you have been my help,
and in (M)the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
My soul (N)clings to you;
your right hand (O)upholds me.

But those who seek to destroy my life
(P)shall go down into (Q)the depths of the earth;
10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword;
they shall be a portion for jackals.
11 But ®the king shall rejoice in God;
all who (S)swear by him shall exult,
(T)for the mouths of (U)liars will be stopped.
