Psalms 63:2
1 O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.
So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.
3 Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.
4 So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.
