Psalm 63:1–5 (Listen)

My Soul Thirsts for You

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

63:1   O God, you are my God; earnestly 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.
  So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
    beholding your power and glory.
  Because your steadfast love is better than life,
    my lips will praise you.
  So I will bless you as long as I live;
    in your name I will lift up my hands.
  My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
    and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,

(ESV)

Psalm 37:3–4 (Listen)

  Trust in the LORD, and do good;
    dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.1
  Delight yourself in the LORD,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.
