PSALMS 63

1 God, you are the God whom I worship. I greatly desire to be with you like [SIL] a person in a dry hot desert greatly desires some cool water.
2 So, I want to see you in your temple; I want to see that you are great and glorious.
3 Your constantly loving me is ◄worth more/more precious► than my life, so I [MTY] will always praise you.
4 I will praise you all the time that I live; I will lift up my hands to you while I pray.
5 Knowing you satisfies me more than [IDM, MET] my eating a very big feast, so I will praise you while I sing [MTY] joyful songs.
6 While I lie on my bed, I think about you. I think/meditate about you all during the night,
7 because you have always helped me, and I sing joyfully knowing that I am protected by you as a little bird is protected under its mother’s wings [MET].
8 I cling to you; and with your hand/power you protect me.
9 But those who are trying to kill me will die and descend into the place of the dead;
10 they will be killed in battles [MTY] and their corpses will be eaten by jackals/wild dogs.
11 But I, the king of Israel, will rejoice in what God has done; and all those who revere and trust God will praise him, but he will not allow liars to say anything.
