Psalm 63. Longing for God.

Psalms_63-3: Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

O God, you are my God,
and I long for you.
My whole being desires you;
like a dry, worn-out, and waterless land,
my soul is thirsty for you.

2 Let me see you in the sanctuary;
let me see how mighty and glorious you are.

3 Your constant love is better than life itself,
and so I will praise you.

4 I will give you thanks as long as I live;
I will raise my hands to you in prayer.

5 My soul will feast and be satisfied,
and I will sing glad songs of praise to you.

6 As I lie in bed, I remember you;
all night long I think of you,

7 because you have always been my help.
In the shadow of your wings I sing for…
