Psalm 63: 1-8

O 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.

2 

So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,

    beholding your power and glory.

3 

Because your steadfast love is better than life,

    my lips will praise you.

4 

So I will bless you as long as I live;

    in your name I will lift up my hands.

5 

My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,

    and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,

6 

when I remember you upon my bed,

    and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

7 

for you have been my help,

    and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

8 

My soul clings to you;

    your right hand upholds me.
