Psalm 63 (AMP)
Psalm 63
A Psalm of David; when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.
1 O God, You are my God, earnestly will I seek You; my inner self thirsts for You, my flesh longs and is faint for You, in a dry and weary land where no water is.
2 So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary to see Your power and Your glory.
3 Because Your loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.
4 So will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5 My whole being shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips
6 When I remember You upon my bed and meditate on You in the night watches.
7 For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings will I rejoice.
8 My whole being follows hard after You and clings closely to You; Your right hand upholds me.
9 But those who seek and demand my life to ruin and destroy it shall [themselves be destroyed and] go into the lower parts of the earth [into the underworld of the dead].
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a prey for foxes and jackals.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him [that is, who binds himself by God’s authority, acknowledging His supremacy, and devoting himself to His glory and service alone; every such one] shall glory, for the mouths of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
Lyrics
I will praise you on the mountaintops
I will praise you in the valleys low
I will praise you through the prison walls
I will praise you from the streets, alleys, and roads
I will praise you when life is going well.
I will praise you when it feels like I'm going thru hell
I will praise you in death's despair
I will praise you when life is everywhere
For your glory will move the mountains standing in my way
Your presence will turn my darkest night into day
Your power will shatter every shackle holding me down
Your grace will carry me through every time I am bound
You are worthy of all power
You are worthy of all praise
You are worthy of all glory due your name
Let your kingdom come.
Let your will be done.
Let heaven come and invade my earthly pain and reign.
Your kingdom come...You reign!
