Thirsty for God
(2 Samuel 15:30-37)
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.
6
When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.
7
For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.
8
My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
9
But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.
10
They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.
11
But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
