O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; My being longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift up my hands... (Psalm 63:1-4)
