UST PSA Chapter 63

63 David wrote song he was the desolate area that belongs to tribe of Judah.

1 God, you are the God whom I worship.

I greatly desire to be with you.

It is as if my body aches for you,

just as a person in a dry, hot wilderness greatly desires water.

2 I have worshiped you in your sanctuary

and recognized how powerful and glorious you are.

3 You are always kind to me, as you promised in your covenant.

This is worth more to me than even being alive,

so I will always praise you.

4 I will praise you for as long as I am alive.

I will lift up my hands and pray to you.

5 You satisfy me as if I had just eaten a delicious banquet of rich foods.

I will praise you very joyfully.

6 Sometimes I think about you when I am lying in bed.

When that happens, I reflect during the night on how wonderful you are.

7 I realize that you are wonderful because you have always helped me.

I sing to you joyfully because I am aware that you protect me

just as a mother bird protects her chicks under her wings.

8 I remain completely loyal to you,

and you protect me by your power.

9 Some people are trying to kill me,

but they will die and go to the place where dead people are.

10 They may die in a battle,

and then wild dogs will eat their corpses.

11 But I, the king of Israel, will rejoice in what God has done for me.

All those who swear oaths in the name of God will praise him

because he will have stopped people from saying things that are not true.
