Psalm 63

O God, thou art my God  *

early will I seek thee.

My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh also longeth after thee *

in a barren and dry land where no water is.

Thus have I looked for thee in holiness *

that I might behold thy power and glory.

For thy loving-kindness is better than the life itself *

my lips shall praise thee.

As long as I live will I magnify thee on this manner *

and lift up my hands in thy Name.

My soul shall be satisfied, even as it were with marrow and fatness *

when my mouth praiseth thee with joyful lips.

Have I not remembered thee in my bed *

and thought upon thee when I was waking?

Because thou hast been my helper *

therefore under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
