1 O God, thou art my God; <br /> early will I seek thee: <br /> my soul thirsteth for thee, <br /> my flesh longeth for thee <br /> in a dry and thirsty land, <br /> where no water is; <br /> <br />2 To see thy power and thy glory, <br /> so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. <br /> <br />3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, <br /> my lips shall praise thee. <br /> <br />4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: <br /> I will lift up my hands in thy name. <br /> <br />5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; <br /> and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: <br /> <br />6 When I remember thee upon my bed, <br /> and meditate on thee in the night watches. <br /> <br />7 Because thou hast been my help, <br /> therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. <br /> <br />8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. <br /> <br />9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, <br /> shall go into the lower parts of the earth. <br /> <br />10 They shall fall by the sword: <br /> they shall be a portion for foxes. <br /> <br />11 But the king shall rejoice in God; <br /> every one that sweareth by him shall glory: <br /> but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.<br /><br />King David of Israel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-63-in-the-shadow-of-thy-wings-will-i-rejoice/
