O God, my God, I cry to thee early; my soul has thirsted for thee: how often has my flesh longed after thee, in a barren and trackless and dry land! ² ^(62:2) Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, that I might see thy power and thy glory. ³ ^(62:3) For thy mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise thee. ⁴ ^(62:4) Thus will I bless thee during my life: I will lift up my hands in thy name. ⁵ ^(62:5) Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and my joyful lips shall praise thy name.
