Psalm 63, written in the Judean desert, is a passionate Davidic declaration of faith in God saying “O God, you are my God… my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you… I have beheld your power and glory… your love is better than life… with singing lips my mouth will praise you… I sing in the shadow of your wings… those who seek my life will be destroyed… the king will rejoice in God!”
