Psalms 63:6
4 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.
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.
8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
