Psalms 63:1-8

1O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

2So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.

3Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.

4So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.

5My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,

6when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

7for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

8My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
