Psalm 63 Songtext
von The Corner Room

1 O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you; My flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 So I have looked upon, upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.

3 Because your steadfast love is better than life,
My lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless you as long as I live;
In your name I will lift up my hands.


5 My soul will be satisfied
As with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
6 when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

7 for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings
I will sing, I will sing for joy.

8 My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.
9 But those who seek to destroy my life
shall go down into the depths of the earth;
10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword;
they shall be a portion for jackals.

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


1 O God, you are my God;
