A Davidic Psalm, while he was in the Judean wilderness.

Joyful Trust in God

63 God, you are my God!
    I will fervently seek you.
My soul thirsts for you;
    my flesh longs for you in a dry, weary, and parched land.
So I have looked for you in the sanctuary,
    to behold your power and glory.
Because your gracious love is better than life itself,
    my lips will praise you.

You, God, are my God,

    where there is no water.(B)

Because your love is better than life,(E)
    my lips will glorify you.
