Psalm 63:8

Praise God Who Satisfies

⁷
For You have been my help,
And in the shadow of Your wings [where I am always protected] I sing for joy.
⁸ 
My soul [my life, my very self] clings to You;
Your right hand upholds me. ⁹
But those who seek my life to destroy it
Will [be destroyed and] go into the depths of the earth [into the underworld].
