The verses around it, from Psalm 63.
1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.
2 So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.
3 Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.
4 So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.
5 My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.
6 When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.
7 For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.
8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
9 But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.
10 They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.
11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
