Psalms 63

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;	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.
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.	2 Thus I have gazed on you in the sanctuary, seeing your power and your glory.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.	3 Better your faithful love than life itself; my lips wil praise you.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.	4 Thus I will bless you al my life, in your name lift up my hands.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:	5 Al my longings fulfil ed as with fat and rich foods, a song of joy on my lips and praise in my mouth.
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.	6 On my bed when I think of you, I muse on you in the watches of the night,
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.	7 for you have always been my help; in the shadow of your wings I rejoice;
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.	8 my heart clings to you, your right hand supports me.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.	9 May those who are hounding me to death go down to the depths of the earth,
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.	10 given over to the blade of the sword, and left as food for jackals.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.	11 Then the king shall rejoice in God, al who swear by him shal gain recognition, for the mouths of liarsshall be silenced.
