    Psalm 63

    A psalm of David, when he was in the Judean desert.

    63 God! My God! It’s you—
        I search for you!
        My whole being thirsts for you!
        My body desires you
            in a dry and tired land,
            no water anywhere.
    Yes, I’ve seen you in the sanctuary;
        I’ve seen your power and glory.
    My lips praise you
        because your faithful love
        is better than life itself!
    So I will bless you as long as I’m alive;
        I will lift up my hands in your name.

    I’m fully satisfied—
        as with a rich dinner.
    My mouth speaks praise with joy on my lips—
        whenever I ponder you on my bed,
        whenever I meditate on you
            in the middle of the night—
        because you’ve been a help to me and I shout for joy in the protection of your wings.
    My whole being clings to you;
        your strong hand upholds me.
