My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.

O God, you are my God whom I seek;
for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts; like the earth parched;
lifeless and without water;

My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.

Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary; to see your power and your glory;
for your kindness is a greater good than life; my lips shall glorify you;

My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.

Thus will I bless you while I live;
lifting up my hands I will call upon your name;
as with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied; and with exultant lips my nouth shall praise you;

My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.

I will remember you upon my couch;
and through the night-watches I will meditate on you; you are my help;
and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy;

My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God.
