Psalm 63:1-3
EasyEnglish Bible

David wrote this psalm when he was in the Judah wilderness.

A morning song[a]

63 God, you are my God.
    I want to be near to you.
I need you to give me life,
    like a thirsty person in a dry desert.
As a person needs water to live,
    that is how I need you.[b]
2 When I have gone into your temple,
    I have seen what you are like.
I have seen your great power and your glory.
3 Your faithful love for me is better than life itself.
    So I will speak out to praise you.

Footnotes

  1. 63:1 See 1 Samuel 23—24; 2 Samuel 15:23. David was in a difficult place, far away from the temple in Jerusalem. He still wanted to know that God was near to him.
  2. 63:1 As our bodies need food and drink so that we can live, we also need God to give us spiritual life.
