Be satisfied. Be content.

Psalm 63. A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.  

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.  

I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. 
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.  

I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.  
My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.  

On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. 
Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.  
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.  

They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.  
They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.  

But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God's name will praise him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
