Thirsting for God

2 Samuel 15:30–37

1O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is.+ 2So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, To see thy power and thy glory.+ 3Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise thee.+ 4So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.+ 5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips;+ 6When I remember thee upon my bed, [And] meditate on thee in the night-watches.+ 7For thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.+ 8My soul followeth hard after thee: Thy right hand upholdeth me.+ 9But those that 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 a portion for foxes.+ 11But the king shall rejoice in God: Every one that sweareth by him shall glory; For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.+
