Psalm
63:1-8
1 O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints
for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.
3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call
on your name.
5 My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast, and my mouth praises you with
joyful lips
6 when I think of you on my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the
night;
7 for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. NRSV
