<p><strong>Pastor Jeff Gates </strong></p> <p>PSALM 63 (NIV)<br>A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.</p> <p>1 You, God, are my God,<br>    earnestly I seek you;<br>I thirst for you,<br>    my whole being longs for you,<br>in a dry and parched land<br>    where there is no water.</p> <p>2 I have seen you in the sanctuary<br>    and beheld your power and your glory.<br>3 Because your love is better than life,<br>    my lips will glorify you.<br>4 I will praise you as long as I live,<br>    and in your name I will lift up my hands.<br>5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;<br>    with singing lips my mouth will praise you.</p> <p>6 On my bed I remember you;<br>    I think of you through the watches of the night.<br>7 Because you are my help,<br>    I sing in the shadow of your wings.<br>8 I cling to you;<br>    your right hand upholds me.</p> <p>9 Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;<br>    they will go down to the depths of the earth.<br>10 They will be given over to the sword<br>    and become food for jackals.</p> <p>11 But the king will rejoice in God;<br>    all who swear by God will glory in him,<br>    while the mouths of liars will be silenced.</p>
