⁶ I spread out my hands to You;
^(A)My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah

63 O God, You are my God;
Early will I seek You;
^(B)My soul thirsts for You;
My flesh longs for You
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.

42 As the deer ^[b]pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
^2 (A)My soul thirsts for God, for the ^(B)living God.
When shall I come and ^[c]appear before God?

⁹ My eye wastes away because of affliction.

^2 (A)My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

⁸ Yes, ^(A)in the way of Your judgments,
O Lord, we have ^(B)waited for You;
The desire of our soul is for Your name
And for the remembrance of You.
^9 (C)With my soul I have desired You in the night,
Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early;
For when Your judgments are in the earth,
The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

⁷ The parched ground shall become a pool,
And the thirsty land springs of water;
In ^(A)the habitation of jackals, where each lay,
There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
