Thirsty for God

(2 Samuel 15:30-37)
1
God, you are the God whom I worship. I greatly desire to be with you as a person in a dry hot wilderness greatly desires some water.
2
I have been with you in your temple In order to see that you are loving and powerful.
3
You always love me, as you promised in your covenant; this is worth more than my entire life, so I will always praise you.
4
I will praise you all the time that I live; I will lift up my hands to you while I pray.
5
You fill me up and you meet every need I have. My response to you is much like when I eat a delicious banquet of rich foods and the food fills me. I will have great happiness when I praise you with the words that I speak about you.
6
While I lie on my bed, I think about you. I think about you all during the night.
7
For you have always helped me, and I sing joyfully knowing that you protect me as a bird protects her young under her wings.
8
I follow you closely, and your hand protects me.
9
But those who are trying to kill me will die and descend into the place of the dead;
10
they will be killed in battles and their corpses will be eaten by dogs.
11
But I, the king of Israel, will rejoice in what God has done; and all those who ask God to confirm their word will praise him, but he will not allow liars to say anything.

Thirsty for God

(2 Samuel 15:30-37)
1
God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
2
So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
3
Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
4
So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
5
My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
6
when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
7
For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
8
My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
9
But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10
They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
11
But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
