Psalm
63 Prayed
Delighting in the gospel and Jesus
O Jesus, you are my God,
earnestly
I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
my
body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
where
there is no water.
I have seen you in the
sanctuary of my church
and
beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better
than life,
my
lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long
as I live,
and
in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied
as with the richest of
foods;
with
singing lips my mouth will praise you.
For your kindness and love has
appeared,
O
my God and Saviour.
You saved me,
not
because of righteous things I have done,
but
because of your mercy.
You saved me through the
washing of rebirth
and
renewal by the Holy Spirit,
whom you poured out on me
generously,
for
you are Jesus Christ my Saviour,
so that, having been justified
by your grace,
I
might become an heir,
having
the hope of eternal life.
On my bed I remember you, Lord
Jesus
I
think of you through the watches of the night.
Because you are my help,
I
sing in the shadow of your wings.
My soul clings to you;
your
right hand upholds me.
When the darkness surrounds me,
when
hope seems far off, remind me:
Those spiritual enemies who
seek my life will be
destroyed;
they
will go down to the depths of the earth.
They will be given over to the
sword
and
become food for jackals.
For you did not spare angels
when they sinned,
but
sent them to hell,
putting them into gloomy
dungeons
to
be held for judgment.
And these angels,
who
did not keep their positions of authority,
but abandoned their own home,
these
you have kept in darkness,
bound with everlasting chains
for
judgment on the great Day.
Therefore, King Jesus, you are
rejoicing
in
the presence of God your Father.
May all who swear by your name
praise you,
and
let the mouths of liars be silenced.
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
