Psalms 63

Douai-Rheims	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
¹ A psalm of David when he was in the desert of Edom.	¹ A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God, I seek thee, my soul thirsts for thee; my flesh faints for thee, as in a dry and weary land where no water is.
² O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!	² So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary, beholding thy power and glory.
³ In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.	³ Because thy steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise thee.
⁴ For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.	⁴ So I will bless thee as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on thy name.
⁵ Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.	⁵ My soul is feasted as with marrow and fat, and my mouth praises thee with joyful lips,
⁶ Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.	⁶ when I think of thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the watches of the night;
⁷ If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:	⁷ for thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I sing for joy.
⁸ because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:	⁸ My soul clings to thee; thy right hand upholds me.
⁹ my soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.	⁹ But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth;
¹⁰ But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:	¹⁰ they shall be given over to the power of the sword, they shall be prey for jackals.
¹¹ They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.	¹¹ But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall glory; for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
¹² But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
