I'm gonna go ahead and put most of the psalm in here:
(v 1-8)
O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
My soul thirsts for you;
My flesh faints for you,
As in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
Beholding your power and glory.
Because you steadfast love is better than life,
My lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
In your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
And my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
When I remember you upon my bed,
And meditate on you in the watches of the night;
For you have been my help,
And in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
My soul clings to you;
Your right hand upholds me.
I love this psalm. David wrote it when he was in the wilderness, which puts the first part in perspective… I love the language in here, it shows how much David truly loved God and was a man after God's heart. I know when I use/think phrases like "My soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you" and when I "meditate in the watches of the night" on somebody, it's usually a girl. Are we so in love with God that it's natural to just think about him when we're in bed? That's how our love for Him should be, where we just think about Him, and our flesh literally faints for Him.
