Psalm 63:1-11
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.
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
David was in the Judean desert as an outlaw hunted by King Saul.
Having tasted the full joy and satisfaction of God's presence, who can bear to lose it.
v9-10: For dead bodies to be left unburied as prey to wild animals is a deep disgrace. These verses are in sharp contrast to the rest of the psalm.
Why?
No matter how or when psalmist heart longs for God, he earnestly seek the Lord.
God is my help, God is better than my life, God with me is better than anything in the world.
Praise the Lord, sing joy to the Lord because God's right hand upholds me.
How?
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. God can bear me.
