O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
시편 63
개요
다윗이 유다 광야에서 썼다는 시편으로 하나님을 향한 강렬한 갈망을 노래한다. 마른 땅에서 물 없이 갈급하듯 하나님의 권능과 영광을 보기 원한다. 밤마다 하나님을 묵상하며 하나님의 날개 그늘에서 기뻐한다.
Key Verses
To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
