Context of Psalms 63:2
1God, you are my God. I want to be near to you. I need you to give me life, like a thirsty person in a dry desert. As a person needs water to live, that is how I need you. When I have gone into your temple, I have seen what you are like. I have seen your great power and your glory. 3Your faithful love for me is better than life itself. So I will speak out to praise you. 4Yes, I will thank you for as long as I live. I will lift up my hands and I will pray to you.
