Psalms 63

Which worship songs are based on Psalms 63?

  1. Sublime - Ao Vivo — fhop music (2025) Psalms 63:3

    The declaration that God's loving devotion surpasses life closely reproduces the central comparison of this verse.

  2. If I Have No One Else — Tenielle Neda (2025) Psalms 63:3

    The song expresses the sentiment that God's love is more valuable than life itself, echoing the essence of Psalm 63:3, which emphasizes the worth of God's love and presence.

  3. Encounter Me (LaceKore Demo) — Lacey Sturm (2024) Psalms 63:3-5

    The bridge closely reflects David's declaration that God's steadfast love surpasses life and that communion with God brings satisfaction. The paired ideas make this a specific engagement with Psalm 63 rather than a generic statement about divine love.

  4. Safe In The Covering (Live) — Cageless Birds & Molly Skaggs (2025) Psalms 63:7

    The bridge closely follows David's description of singing joyfully beneath the shelter of God's wings. The combination of singing and the divine wing-shadow distinguishes Psalm 63:7 from other psalms that use similar refuge imagery.

  5. One Pure and Holy Passion — Shane & Shane (2024) Psalms 63:8

    The song uses the distinctive biblical expression of pursuing closely after God, strongly reflecting David’s description of his soul clinging to and following God.

Psalms 63 (King James Version)

1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
