Psalms 63:2


Psalms 63:1 Psalms 63:2 (KJV) Psalms 63:3
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
