Psalm 63:4-6
New English Translation
4 For this reason[a] I will praise you while I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.[b]
5 As with choice meat[c] you satisfy my soul.[d]
My mouth joyfully praises you,[e]
6 whenever[f] I remember you on my bed,
and think about you during the nighttime hours.
