A song of David written when he was in the desert of Judah.

63 God, you are my God.
    I am searching so hard to find you.
Body and soul, I thirst for you
    in this dry and weary land without water.
Yes, I have seen you in your Temple.[a]
    I have seen your strength and glory.
Your faithful love is better than life,
    so my lips praise you.
