Psalter manuscript

Psalm 63: O God, You are my God

Resources

O God, You are my God,
Early will I seek for You;
Both my body and soul
With unquenched thirst cry out to You,
But barren is this land;
Its watercourses dry,
So I have sought for You
Within the sanctuary.

I see glory and power
So I offer praise to You;
More than riches or life,
Your loving kindness I pursue.
With both hands lifted high
I bless Your holy Name;
With soul deep satisfied,
Your wisdom I proclaim.

Resting, throughout the night,
I recall Your grace to me;
I seek daily Your light
And shall throughout eternity.
Beneath Your wings I’ll stay
And follow close behind;
Believing all You say
Will mend my muddled mind.

Those pursuing my life
Shall beneath the earth be cast;
Tempest, trouble and strife
Awaits them as an icy blast.
But all who love Your ways
And make Christ their delight,
Will glory in His praise,
Discerning what is right.
