1902 Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR)

Psalms 63

1 David's thirst for God. 4 His manner of blessing God. 9 His confidence of his enemies' destruction, and his own safety.

 63:1 ¶ [[A Melody of David. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah.]] O God, my GOD, thou art, Earnestly do I desire thee,—My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh fainteth for thee, In a land—dry, and weary for want of water,—

 63:2 In like manner as, in the sanctuary, I have had vision of thee, To behold thy power and thy glory.

 63:3 ¶ Because better is thy lovingkindness than life, My lips, aloud shall praise thee!

 63:4 Thus, will I bless thee while I live, In thy Name, will I lift up mine outspread hands:

 63:5 As with fatness and richness, shall my soul be satisfied, And, with joyfully shouting lips, shall my mouth utter praise.

 63:6 Should I call thee to mind upon my couch, In the watches of the night, would I breathe soft speech of thee.

 63:7 ¶ For thou hast become a help unto me,—And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I shout for joy.

 63:8 My soul hath run clinging to thee, On me, hath thy right hand laid hold.

 63:9 When, they, to crush it, would seek my life, They shall go into the lower parts of the earth:

 63:10 Every one shall be given up into the power of the sword, The portion of jackals, shall they become.

 63:11 But, the king, shall rejoice in God,—Every one shall glory who sweareth by him, For the mouth of them who speak falsehood, shall be stopped.
