Psalm 63

1 O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you;*
my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you,
as in a barren and dry land where there is no water.

2 Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place,*
that I might behold your power and your glory.

3 For your loving-kindness is better than life itself;*
my lips shall give you praise.

4 So will I bless you as long as I live*
and lift up my hands in your Name.

5 My soul is content, as with marrow and fatness,*
and my mouth praises you with joyful lips,

6 When I remember you upon my bed,*
and meditate on you in the night watches.

7 For you have been my helper,*
and under the shadow of your wings I will rejoice.

8 My soul clings to you;*
your right hand holds me fast.
