Psalm 63. Deus, Deus meus.

1. O GOD, thou art my God; *
   early will I seek thee.
2. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh also longeth after thee, *
   in a barren and dry land where no water is.
3. Thus have I looked for thee in the sanctuary, *
   that I might behold thy power and glory.
4. For thy loving-kindness is better than the life itself: *
   my lips shall praise thee.
5. As long as I live will I magnify thee in this manner, *
   and lift up my hands in thy Name.
6. My soul shall be satisfied, even as it were with marrow and fatness, *
   when my mouth praiseth thee with joyful lips.
7. Have I not remembered thee in my bed, *
   and thought upon thee when I was waking?
8. Because thou hast been my helper; *
   therefore under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
9. My soul hangeth upon thee; *
   thy right hand hath upholden me.
10. These also that seek the hurt of my soul, *
    they shall go under the earth.
11. Let them fall upon the edge of the sword, *
    that they may be a portion for foxes.
12. But the King shall rejoice in God; all they also that swear by him shall be commended; *
    for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
