Psalm 63

New King James Version

Joy in the Fellowship of God

A Psalm of David ^(A)when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

63 O God, You are my God;
Early will I seek You;
^(B)My soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.
²So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,
To see ^(C)Your power and Your glory.

³^(D)Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
⁴Thus I will bless You while I live;
I will ^(E)lift up my hands in Your name.
⁵My soul shall be satisfied as with ^[a]marrow and ^[b]fatness,
And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.

⁶When ^(F)I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches.
⁷Because You have been my help,
Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
⁸My soul follows close behind You;
Your right hand upholds me.

⁹But those who seek my life, to destroy it,
Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
¹⁰They shall ^[c]fall by the sword;
They shall be ^[d]a portion for jackals.

¹¹But the king shall rejoice in God;
^(G)Everyone who swears by Him shall glory;
But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.

Appreciation of the Mystery

¹⁴For this reason I bow my knees to the ^(A)Father ^[a]of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, ¹⁶that He would grant you, ^(B)according to the riches of His glory, ^(C)to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in ^(D)the inner man, ¹⁷^(E)that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, ^(F)being rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸^(G)may be able to comprehend with all the saints ^(H)what is the width and length and depth and height— ¹⁹to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled ^(I)with all the fullness of God.

²⁰Now ^(J)to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly ^(K)above all that we ask or think, ^(L)according to the power that works in us, ²¹^(M)to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
