Psalm 63: My Soul Thirsts for You

¹O God, you are my God; early will I seek you. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. ²To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the sanctuary. ³Because your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise you. ⁴So I will bless you while I live; I will lift up my hands in your name. ⁵My soul will be as satisfied as if I had eaten rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips. ⁶when I remember you on my bed and meditate on you in the watches of the night. ⁷Because you have been my help, therefore in the shadow of your wings I will rejoice. ⁸My soul follows hard after you; your right hand upholds me. ⁹But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, will go into the lower parts of the earth. ¹⁰They will fall by the sword; they will be a portion for foxes. ¹¹But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who swears by him will glory, but the mouth of those who speak lies will be stopped.
