26 Psalms 63


1God, you are my god; on you I wait; my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you, as in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.
2As in purity, I have seen you, so may I see your power and your glory.
3Because your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise you.
4Thus, I will bless you while I live; I will lift up my hands in your name.


5My soul will be enriched as with cream and fatness; and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.
6I remember you on my bed and I meditate on you in the night watches.
7Because you have been my helper, therefore in the shadow of your wings I will glory.
8My soul follows hard after you; your right hand upholds me.


9But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, will go into the lower parts of the land.
10They will fall by the sword; they will be a portion for foxes.
11But the king will rejoice in god; every man that swears by him will glory; but the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

Iran held elections on June 12, 2009, 1 day ahead of the date for this Psalm. The election results were announced before most polls closed. The incumbent was declared the winner many hours earlier than possible using paper ballots. Riots erupted and were ongoing 3 days later.

The text of verse 11 suggests the rigged ballots will be exposed.

North Korea Threatens War

Also on this Psalm date the North Koreans published an editorial on the subject of nuclear war, basically threatening the west on the subject. This was in response to UN Sanctions passed on Friday the 12th of June.

The editorial said that North Korea is again enriching uranium. This term is mentioned in verse 5.
