From the poet and warrior

O God, you are my God;
I search for you.
My soul thirsts for you;
my whole body longs for you
in this parched and weary land
where there is no water. 

I have seen you in your sanctuary
and gazed upon your power and glory.
Your unfailing love is better than life itself;
how I praise you!

I will praise you as long as I live,
lifting up my hands to you in prayer.
You satisfy me more than the richest feast.
I will praise you with songs of joy.
I lie awake thinking of you,
meditating on you through the night.

Because you are my helper,
 sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.
I cling to you;
your strong right hand holds me securely.
