[00:00:04] Psalm 63 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah O God, you are my God. With deepest longing I will seek you. My soul, my life, my very self, thirsts for you.
[00:00:27] My flesh longs and sighs for you in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have gazed upon you in the sanctuary to see your power and your glory. Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
[00:00:52] So will I bless you as long as I live. I will lift up my hands in your name. My soul, my life, my very self is satisfied as with marrow and fatness. And my mouth offers praises to you with joyful lips.
[00:01:15] When I remember you on my bed, I meditate and thoughtfully focus on you in the night watches. For you have been my help. And in the shadow of your wings, where I am always protected, I sing for joy. My soul, my life, my very self clings to you. Your right hand upholds me.
[00:01:43] But those who seek my life to destroy it will be destroyed and go into the depths of the earth, into the underworld. They will be given over to the power of the sword. They will be a prey for foxes. But the king will rejoice in God.
[00:02:04] Everyone who swears by him, honoring the true God, acknowledging his authority and majesty, will glory. For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped. Thank you for tuning in to the The Audio Bible today. This has been Psalm chapter 63 from the Word of God.
