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.
