Psalm 63

 

You, 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.

 

  I have seen you in the sanctuary

    and beheld your power and your glory.

  Because your love is better than life,

    my lips will glorify you.

  I will praise you as long as I live,

    and in your name I will lift up my hands.

  I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;

    with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

 

  On my bed I remember you;

    I think of you through the watches of the night.

  Because you are my help,

    I sing in the shadow of your wings.

  I cling to you;

    your right hand upholds me. Psalm 63:1-8
