Psalm 63

Praise God Who Satisfies

A Davidic psalm. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah.(A)

God, You are my God; I eagerly seek You.
I thirst for You;
my body faints for You
in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.(B)
So I gaze on You in the sanctuary
to see Your strength and Your glory.(C)

My lips will glorify You
because Your faithful love is better than life.(D)

You, God, are my God,
    earnestly I seek you;

    where there is no water.(B)
