Psalms 63:7

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.

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
