Psalms 63

63:1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

(63:) “I have seen thee in the sanctuary.” Can God be seen?

63:2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

63:3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

63:4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

63:5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

63:7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

63:8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

63:9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

63:10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory:  but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

(63:) “Every one that sweareth by him shall glory.”   Is it OK to swear?
