Psalms 63:5

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.

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.

7 For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
