Psalms 63

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [Psalm Of David When he was in the desert of Judah] God, you are my God, I pine for you; my heartthirsts for you, my body longs for you, as a land parched, dreary and waterless.	1 A psalm of David when he was in the desert of Edom.
2 Thus I have gazed on you in the sanctuary, seeing your power and your glory.	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!
3 Better your faithful love than life itself; my lips wil praise you.	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.
4 Thus I will bless you al my life, in your name lift up my hands.	4 For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.
5 Al my longings fulfil ed as with fat and rich foods, a song of joy on my lips and praise in my mouth.	5 Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
6 On my bed when I think of you, I muse on you in the watches of the night,	6 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
7 for you have always been my help; in the shadow of your wings I rejoice;	7 If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:
8 my heart clings to you, your right hand supports me.	8 because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings:
9 May those who are hounding me to death go down to the depths of the earth,	9 my soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
10 given over to the blade of the sword, and left as food for jackals.	10 But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
11 Then the king shall rejoice in God, al who swear by him shal gain recognition, for the mouths of liarsshall be silenced.	11 They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
	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.
