Psalm 63:1-8
A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.
1
aYou, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
2
I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
3
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
4
I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5
I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6
On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
7
Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8
I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.
