Psalms 63:4-9 in English

⁴ So 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 For thou hast been my help, And 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.

⁴ who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;

⁵ to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

⁶ They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?

⁷ They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

⁸ and God shall be exalted, their wounds were caused by the weapon of the foolish children,

⁹ and their tongues have set him at nought, all that saw them were troubled;

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.
