Psalms 63:1-3

¹The psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Judah. God, my God, I wake to thee full early. My soul thirsted to thee; my flesh thirsted to thee full manyfold. In a land forsaken without way, and without water,

²so I appeared to thee in holy; that I should see thy virtue, and thy glory.

³For thy mercy is better than lives or life itself; my lips shall praise thee.
