Psalm 63 (WEBP)
[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.
[2] So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
[3] Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
[4] So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
[5] My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
[6] when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
[7] For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
[8] My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
[9] But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
[10] They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
[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.

Psalm 63 (KJVS)
[1] O God, H430 thou [art] my God; H410 early will I seek H7836 (PielImpf) thee: my soul H5315 thirsteth H6770 (QalPerf) for thee, my flesh H1320 longeth H3642 (QalPerf) for thee in a dry H6723 and thirsty H5889 land, H776 where no H1097 water H4325 is;
[2] To see H7200 (QalInf) thy power H5797 and thy glory, H3519 so [as] I have seen H2372 (QalPerf) thee in the sanctuary. H6944
[3] Because thy lovingkindness H2617 [is] better H2896 than life, H2416 my lips H8193 shall praise H7623 (PielImpf) thee.
[4] Thus will I bless H1288 (PielImpf) thee while I live: H2416 I will lift up H5375 (QalImpf) my hands H3709 in thy name. H8034
[5] My soul H5315 shall be satisfied H7646 (QalImpf) as [with] marrow H2459 and fatness; H1880 and my mouth H6310 shall praise H1984 (PielImpf) [thee] with joyful H7445 lips: H8193
[6] When I remember H2142 (QalPerf) thee upon my bed, H3326 [and] meditate H1897 (QalImpf) on thee in the [night] watches. H821
[7] Because thou hast been my help, H5833 therefore in the shadow H6738 of thy wings H3671 will I rejoice. H7442 (PielImpf)
[8] My soul H5315 followeth hard H1692 (QalPerf) after H310 thee: thy right hand H3225 upholdeth H8551 (QalPerf) me.
[9] But those [that] seek H1245 (PielImpf) my soul, H5315 to destroy H7722 [it], shall go H935 (QalImpf) into the lower parts H8482 of the earth. H776
[10] They shall fall H5064 (HiphImpf) by the sword: H3027 H2719 they shall be a portion H4521 for foxes. H7776
[11] But the king H4428 shall rejoice H8055 (QalImpf) in God; H430 every one that sweareth H7650 (NiphPtc) by him shall glory: H1984 (HithImpf) but the mouth H6310 of them that speak H1696 (QalActPtc) lies H8267 shall be stopped. H5534 (NiphImpf)

[1] [62:1] ψαλμος τω δαυιδ εν τω ειναι αυτον εν τη ερημω της ιουδαιας [62:2] ο θεος ο θεος μου προς σε ορθριζω εδιψησεν σοι η ψυχη μου ποσαπλως σοι η σαρξ μου εν γη ερημω και αβατω και ανυδρω
[2] [62:3] ουτως εν τω αγιω ωφθην σοι του ιδειν την δυναμιν σου και την δοξαν σου
[3] [62:4] οτι κρεισσον το ελεος σου υπερ ζωας τα χειλη μου επαινεσουσιν σε
[4] [62:5] ουτως ευλογησω σε εν τη ζωη μου εν τω ονοματι σου αρω τας χειρας μου
[5] [62:6] ωσει στεατος και πιοτητος εμπλησθειη η ψυχη μου και χειλη αγαλλιασεως αινεσει το στομα μου
[6] [62:7] ει εμνημονευον σου επι της στρωμνης μου εν τοις ορθροις εμελετων εις σε
[7] [62:8] οτι εγενηθης βοηθος μου και εν τη σκεπη των πτερυγων σου αγαλλιασομαι
[8] [62:9] εκολληθη η ψυχη μου οπισω σου εμου αντελαβετο η δεξια σου
[9] [62:10] αυτοι δε εις ματην εζητησαν την ψυχην μου εισελευσονται εις τα κατωτατα της γης
[10] [62:11] παραδοθησονται εις χειρας ρομφαιας μεριδες αλωπεκων εσονται
[11] [62:12] ο δε βασιλευς ευφρανθησεται επι τω θεω επαινεσθησεται πας ο ομνυων εν αυτω οτι ενεφραγη στομα λαλουντων αδικα
