“O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for You; My soul thirsts for You; my whole body longs for You in this parched and wary land where there is no water. I have seen You in Your sanctuary and gazed upon Your power and glory. Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise You! I will praise You as long as I live, lifting up my hands to You in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise You with songs of joy.
I lie awake thinking of You, meditating on You through the night. Because You are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings. I cling to you; Your strong right hand holds me securely.” (Psalm 63, 1:8, NLT)
