Psalm 63:1-5

Amplified Bible

The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.

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

63 O God, You are my God; with deepest longing I will seek You;
My ^[a]soul [my life, my very self] thirsts for You, my flesh longs and sighs for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.
²
So I have gazed upon You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.^(A)
³
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
⁴
So will I bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
⁵
My ^[b]soul [my life, my very self] is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises [to You] with joyful lips.
