Psalm 63
or Coverdale
or Coverdale
1 O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you; *
my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you,
as in a barren and dry land where there is no water.
my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you,
as in a barren and dry land where there is no water.
2 Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place, *
that I might behold your power and your glory.
that I might behold your power and your glory.
3 For your loving-kindness is better than life itself; *
my lips shall give you praise.
my lips shall give you praise.
4 So will I bless you as long as I live *
and lift up my hands in your Name.
and lift up my hands in your Name.
5 My soul is content, as with marrow and fatness, *
and my mouth praises you with joyful lips,
and my mouth praises you with joyful lips,
6 When I remember you upon my bed, *
and meditate on you in the night watches.
and meditate on you in the night watches.
7 For you have been my helper, *
and under the shadow of your wings I will rejoice.
and under the shadow of your wings I will rejoice.
8 My soul clings to you; *
your right hand holds me fast.
your right hand holds me fast.
9 May those who seek my life to destroy it *
go down into the depths of the earth;
go down into the depths of the earth;
10 Let them fall upon the edge of the sword, *
and let them be food for jackals.
and let them be food for jackals.
11 But the king will rejoice in God;
all those who swear by him will be glad; *
for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
all those who swear by him will be glad; *
for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
Collect of the Day: The Fourth Sunday in Easter
O God, whose Son Jesus is the good shepherd of your people: Grant that when we hear his voice we may know him who calls us each by name, and follow where he leads; who, with you and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
