A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

¶ O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee; my soul thirsts for thee; my flesh longs for thee in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water;

in this manner I beheld thee in holiness when I beheld thy power and thy glory.

¶ Because thy mercy is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

You, God, are my God,
