Psalm 63
1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

My soul thirsts for you
My flesh longs for you
In a land parched and
Weary with no water
So too in the sanctuary
To behold your might
and your glory
My flesh longs for you
In a land parched and
Weary with no water
So too in the sanctuary
To behold your might
and your glory
Kamah l'chol vesari
Be'eretz-tziyah

Ken ba'kodesh chaziticha
Lir'ot uzcha uk-vodecha.

Thanks for sharing!
Well put together information, thanks bro!
Seeing the Lord's awesome power today is still mind boggling
I know Matisyahu. I haven't heard this song though. Thanks for the share.
I know that some psalms have been covered by modern artists with intent to recreate them as close to the original as possible. I wonder what this one would sound like if they did that, but then went metal with it?
