Psalm 63 is a lament offered with confident expectation. The idea is to develop confidence in God during times of trouble. David probably wrote this Psalm as he was fleeing from Absalom.
1-2 – David is apparently inflight and unable to worship at the sanctuary, so he remembers past worship at the sanctuary. His soul thirsts and his flesh faints for God.
3-4 – David is confident of future worship in the sanctuary. David anticipates singing, lifting his hands, and praising God.
5-8 – Yet, David states he clings to God wherever he is, even in the watch of the night because God is his help.
9-11 – David then in confidence declares that those who seek his life will fail and die. As a result, David will rejoice in God.
