Thirsty for God

(2 Samuel 15:30-37)
1
A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. God, you are my God! I earnestly search for you, my soul thirsts for you, and my flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2
So I have looked on you in the holy people to see your power and your glory.
3
Because your covenant faithfulness is better than life, my lips will praise you.
4
So I will bless you while I live; I will lift up my hands in your name.
5
It will be as if I ate a meal of marrow and fatness; with joyful lips my mouth will praise you,
6
when I think about you on my bed and meditate on you in the night hours.
7
For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.
8
I cling to you; your right hand supports me.
9
But those who seek to destroy my life will go down into the lowest parts of the earth;
10
they will be given over to those whose hands use the sword, and they will become food for the jackals.
11
But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who swears by him will be proud of him, but the mouth of those who speak lies will be stopped up.

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.
