Psalms

(62) O God, You Are My God, I Seek You Early2O God, you are my God, it is you I seek; for you, my body longs and my soul thirsts, as a dry and weary land without water.

Thus have I gazed upon you in the Sanctuary, to see your power and your glory.

Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.

I will praise you as long as I live, lift up my hands and call on your name.

As with the richest food, my soul will feast; my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.

When I remember you on my bed, I think of you all through the night,

for you have been my help; I sing in the shadow of your wings.

My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

In vain, they are after my life; they will go down to the depths of the earth;

they will be delivered to the sword, and become the prey of jackals.

The king will rejoice in God. All who swear by God’s name will boast: “At last, slanderers’ tongues have been silenced.”
