63:1  O GOD, You are my God, earnestly will I seek You; my inner self thirsts for You, my flesh longs {and} is faint for You, in a dry and weary land where no water is.

63:2  So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary to see Your power and Your glory.

63:3  Because Your loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.

63:4  So will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.

63:5  My whole being shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips

63:6  When I remember You upon my bed and meditate on You in the night watches.

63:7  For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings will I rejoice.

63:8  My whole being follows hard after You {and} clings closely to You; Your right hand upholds me.

63:9  But those who seek {and} demand my life to ruin {and} destroy it shall [themselves be destroyed and] go into the lower parts of the earth [into the underworld of the dead].

63:10  They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a prey for foxes {and} jackals.

63:11  But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him [that is, who binds himself by God's authority, acknowledging His supremacy, and devoting himself to His glory and service alone; every such one] shall glory, for the mouths of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
