Psalm 63

Psalm titleA Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

  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;
  2. To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
  3. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
  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.
  9. But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
  10. They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
  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.

How these connections are counted

Sources. Scripture text is the King James Version (public domain). Hebrew is the Westminster Leningrad Codex (public domain) with STEPBible tagging and lexicon data (CC BY 4.0). Old Testament cross references come from OpenBible.info (CC BY). Connections come from the scripture links in every general conference talk from April 2000 through October 2026, plus scripture lists in Weak Things sketch notes for selected apostles’ talks from 1971–1999. Latter-day Saint scholarship, other Christian commentaries, Jewish interpretation and historical sources are labeled separately.

Distinct talks, not mentions. Each talk counts once per verse. Badges show whether the talk cites this exact verse or a passage that includes it, and whether the link is in a footnote or the talk text. Frequency is not a measure of doctrinal importance.

Your own words, their link. Summaries are Weak Things’ own. Talk text is not reproduced; every card links to the original talk on the Church’s site. This independent study tool does not speak for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
