Psalm 63:1-8  Deus, Deus meus

1 O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you; *
my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you, as in a barren and dry land where there is no wa-ter.

2 Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place, *
that I might behold your power and your glo-ry.

3 For your loving-kindness is better than life it-self; *
my lips shall give you praise.

4 So will I bless you as long as I live *
and lift up my hands in your Name.

Chant A

5 My soul is content, as with marrow and fat-ness, *
and my mouth praises you with joy-ful lips,

6 When I remember you upon my bed, *
and meditate on you in the night wat-ches.

7 For you have been my hel-per, *
and under the shadow of your wings I will re-joice.

8 My soul clings to you; *
your right hand holds me fast.

Chant A

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ev-er. A-men.
