Psalms 63:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.

2 So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

3 Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

4 So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.

5 My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.
