Psalm 63 CSB ISV Parallel

◄ Psalm 63 ►

Christian Standard Bible

International Standard Version

1God, you are my God; I eagerly seek you. I thirst for you; my body faints for you in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.

1God, you are my God! I will fervently seek you. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you in a dry, weary, and parched land.

2So I gaze on you in the sanctuary to see your strength and your glory.

2So I have looked for you in the sanctuary, to behold your power and glory.

3My lips will glorify you because your faithful love is better than life.

3Because your gracious love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you.

4So I will bless you as long as I live; at your name, I will lift up my hands.

4So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in your name.

5You satisfy me as with rich food; my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.

5Just as I am satisfied with the choicest of foods, so my lips will praise you joyfully.

6When I think of you as I lie on my bed, I meditate on you during the night watches

6When I think of you in bed, I will meditate on you in the night watches.

7because you are my helper; I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

7For you have been my strength, and in the shadow of your wings I will shout for joy.

8I follow close to you; your right hand holds on to me.

8My soul clings to you, even as your right hand supports me.

9But those who intend to destroy my life will go into the depths of the earth.

9But as for those who seek to destroy me, they will go down to the depths of the earth;

10They will be given over to the power of the sword; they will become a meal for jackals.

10May they be given over to the power of the sword; may they become carrion for jackals.

11But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by him will boast, for the mouths of liars will be shut.

11But as for the king, he will rejoice in God. Indeed, everyone who swears by God will exult, because the mouths of liars will be silenced.
