Psalms 63:4
2 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.
So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.
5 My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.
6 When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.
