Psalms 63:1-8

¹A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou art my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.

²So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.

³Because better is Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.

⁴So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.

⁵As with milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And with singing lips doth my mouth praise.

⁶If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches — I meditate on Thee.

⁷For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.

⁸Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.
