1A psalm of David, when he was in the Judean desert. God, you are my God, I eagerly look for you. I am thirsty for you; all that I am longs for you in this dry, weary, waterless land.
2I see you in the Temple; I watch your power and glory.
3Your trustworthy love is better than life itself; I will praise you.
4I will thank you as long as I live; I lift up my hands as I celebrate your wonderful character.
5You satisfy me more than the richest food; I will praise you with joyful songs.
6I think of you all night long as I lie on my bed meditating about you.
7For you are the one who helps me; I sing happily from under your wings.
8I hold on to you; your strong arms lift me up.
