Salmos 63

¹ O God, thou are my God. I will earnestly seek thee. My soul thirsts for thee, my flesh longs for thee, in a dry and weary land, where is no water.

² So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary to see thy power and thy glory.

³ Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

⁴ So I will bless thee while I live. I will lift up my hands in thy name.

⁵ My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips

⁶ when I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the night-watches.

⁷ For thou have been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice.

⁸ My soul follows close after thee. Thy right hand upholds me,

⁹ but those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

¹⁰ They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes.

¹¹ But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him shall glory, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
