1. O God, you are my God;I earnestly search for you.My soul thirsts for you;my whole body longs for youin this parched and weary landwhere there is no water.
2. I have seen you in your sanctuaryand gazed upon your power and glory.
3. Your unfailing love is better than life itself;how I praise you!
4. I will praise you as long as I live,lifting up my hands to you in prayer.
5. You satisfy me more than the richest feast.I will praise you with songs of joy.
6. I lie awake thinking of you,meditating on you through the night.
7. Because you are my helper,I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.
8. I cling to you;your strong right hand holds me securely.
