Psalm 63 Psalm 63 JACKSON  |  Same-Tune Hymns  |  Bible Passage Author: Scottish Psalter Musician: George Jackson 1   LORD, thee my God, I'll early seek:           My soul doth thirst for thee;      My flesh longs in a dry parched land,           Wherein no waters be: 2   That I thy power may behold,           And brightness of thy face,      As I have seen thee heretofore           Within thy holy place. 3   Since better is thy love than life,           My lips thee praise shall give. 4   I in thy name will lift my hands,           And bless thee while I live. 5   Even as with marrow and with fat           My soul shall filled be;      Then shall my mouth with joyful lips           Sing praises unto thee. 6   When I do thee upon my bed           Remember with delight,      I meditate on thee throughout           The watches of the night. 7   In shadow of thy wings I'll joy;           For thou my help hast been. 8   My soul thee follows hard; and me           Thy right hand doth sustain. 9   To lowest depths of earth shall go           Those who my soul would slay;  10 They by the sword shall perish all,           Of foxes be the prey. 11 Yet shall the king in God rejoice,           And each one glory shall      That swears by him; but stopped shall be           The mouth of liars all.

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