Thirsting for God

2 Samuel 15:30–37

1A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou art my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.+ 2So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.+ 3Because better is Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.+ 4So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.+ 5As with milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And with singing lips doth my mouth praise.+ 6If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches--I meditate on Thee.+ 7For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.+ 8Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.+ 9And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.+ 10They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are.+ 11And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking lies!+
