2. Psalm 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.

3. Psalm 63
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;     in your name I will lift up my hands.

4. Psalm 63
5 My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, 6 when I remember you upon 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 will sing for joy.
