O God, thou art my God: early will I seek thee.

My soul thirsteth for thee,

my flesh also longeth after thee

in a barren and dry land where no water is

Thus have I looked for thee in holiness,

that I might behold thy power and glory.

For thy loving kindness is better than life itself:

My lips shall praise thee.

As long as I live will I magnify thee on this manner

and lift up my hands in thy Name.

Because thou hast been my jelper,

therefore under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

Hallelujah. Psalm 63 vv.1-5,8
