A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.

Thirsting for God

2 Samuel 15:30–37

1God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.+ 2So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.+ 3Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.+ 4So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.+ 5My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,+ 6when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.+ 7For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.+ 8My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.+ 9But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.+ 10They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.+ 11But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.+
