Psalm 63
Thirsting for God
Description
David's psalm from the wilderness of Judah expresses desperate longing for God's presence—a soul thirsting in dry and weary land, finding satisfaction only in communion with the Lord.
Key Verses
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
