Thirsting for God
(2 Samuel 15:30–37)
A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.
O God, You are my God. Psa 143:6Psa 84:2Psa 42:1-2Mat 6:33Psa 91:2Rev 7:16-17Isa 41:18Exo 15:2
Earnestly I seek You;
my soul thirsts for You.
My body yearns for You
in a dry and weary land without water.
So I have seen You in the sanctuary Psa 27:4Psa 105:4Psa 84:2-11Psa 96:61Ch 16:112Co 4:4-61Sa 4:21-22Exo 33:18-19
and beheld Your power and glory.
Because Your loving devotion is better than life, Php 1:23Psa 51:15Psa 69:16Heb 13:15Psa 30:51Co 6:20Rom 12:1Psa 30:12
my lips will glorify You.
So I will bless You as long as I live; Psa 104:33Psa 134:2Psa 28:21Ki 8:22-66Psa 145:1-3Hab 3:10Psa 146:1-2
in Your name I will lift my hands.
My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; Psa 36:7-9Isa 25:6Psa 17:15Psa 43:4Ezr 3:11-13Psa 118:14-15Psa 135:3Psa 65:4
with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.
When I remember You on my bed, Psa 42:8Psa 119:147-148Psa 149:5Psa 119:55Lam 2:19Psa 139:17-18Psa 77:4-6Sng 5:2
I think of You through the watches of the night.
For You are my help; 2Co 1:10Psa 61:4Psa 27:9Psa 17:8Psa 54:3-4Psa 57:11Sa 17:37Psa 5:11
I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.
My soul clings to You; Isa 41:10Psa 18:35Psa 73:23Sng 2:6Psa 37:24Isa 42:1Psa 73:25Psa 94:18
Your right hand upholds me.
But those who seek my life to destroy it Psa 55:15Psa 40:14Psa 9:171Sa 25:29Isa 14:19Num 16:30-33Psa 86:13Ezk 32:18-32
will go into the depths of the earth.
They will fall to the power of the sword; Jer 18:21Ezk 35:5Ezk 39:41Sa 26:101Sa 31:1-6Ezk 39:17-20Rev 19:17-18Sng 2:15
they will become a portion for foxes.
But the king will rejoice in God; Deu 6:13Psa 21:1Isa 45:23Isa 65:16Rom 3:19Heb 6:131Sa 23:171Sa 24:20
all who swear by Him will exult,
for the mouths of liars will be shut.
