Psalm 63 - World English Bible with Hebrew

1 God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you, My flesh longs for you, In a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

1 מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִ֑ד בִּ֝הְיֹותֹ֗ו בְּמִדְבַּ֥ר יְהוּדָֽה׃

2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, Watching your power and your glory.

2 אֱלֹהִ֤ים׀ אֵלִ֥י אַתָּ֗ה אֲ‍ֽשַׁחֲ֫רֶ֥ךָּ צָמְאָ֬ה לְךָ֨׀ נַפְשִׁ֗י כָּמַ֣הּ לְךָ֣ בְשָׂרִ֑י בְּאֶֽרֶץ־צִיָּ֖ה וְעָיֵ֣ף בְּלִי־מָֽיִם׃

3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, My lips shall praise you.

3 כֵּ֭ן בַּקֹּ֣דֶשׁ חֲזִיתִ֑יךָ לִרְאֹ֥ות עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ וּכְבֹודֶֽךָ׃

4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

4 כִּי־טֹ֣וב חַ֭סְדְּךָ מֵֽחַיִּ֗ים שְׂפָתַ֥י יְשַׁבְּחֽוּנְךָ׃

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

5 כֵּ֣ן אֲבָרֶכְךָ֣ בְחַיָּ֑י בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ אֶשָּׂ֥א כַפָּֽי׃

6 When I remember you on my bed, And think about you in the night watches.

6 כְּמֹ֤ו חֵ֣לֶב וָ֭דֶשֶׁן תִּשְׂבַּ֣ע נַפְשִׁ֑י וְשִׂפְתֵ֥י רְ֝נָנֹ֗ות יְהַלֶּל־פִּֽי׃

7 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

7 אִם־זְכַרְתִּ֥יךָ עַל־יְצוּעָ֑י בְּ֝אַשְׁמֻרֹ֗ות אֶהְגֶּה־בָּֽךְ׃

8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

8 כִּֽי־הָיִ֣יתָ עֶזְרָ֣תָה לִּ֑י וּבְצֵ֖ל כְּנָפֶ֣יךָ אֲרַנֵּֽן׃

9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

9 דָּבְקָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֣י אַחֲרֶ֑יךָ בִּ֝֗י תָּמְכָ֥ה יְמִינֶֽךָ׃

10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

10 וְהֵ֗מָּה לְ֭שֹׁואָה יְבַקְשׁ֣וּ נַפְשִׁ֑י יָ֝בֹ֗אוּ בְּֽתַחְתִּיֹּ֥ות הָאָֽרֶץ׃

11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, For the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.

11 יַגִּירֻ֥הוּ עַל־יְדֵי־חָ֑רֶב מְנָ֖ת שֻׁעָלִ֣ים יִהְיֽוּ׃
