PSALM LXIII. A Psalm of David, when be was at the Wilderness of Judah.
1 O God, Thou art my God, I will ‖ seek after thee betimes; ‖ My Soul is in a thirst for thee: ‖ Thee does my flesh desire. ‖ They do it in a Land that is ‖ a very wilderness: ‖ And in a place of weariness, ‖ which has no water in't.
2 It is that I may have a view ‖ of what thy Power is, ‖ and what thy Glory; As I have ‖ seen in the holy place. ‖
3 Because thy loving kindness is ‖ better than Lives themselves; ‖ My lips shall therefore be employed ‖ in setting forth thy Praise. ‖
3 Because thy loving kindness is ‖ better than Lives themselves; ‖ My lips shall therefore be imploy'd ‖ in setting forth thy Praise. ‖
