1
O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.
2
I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory.
3
Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you!
4
I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer.
5
You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy.
6
I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night.
7
Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.
8
I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely.
