Response: My Soul is Thirsting for You, O Lord My God.
O God, you are my God, for you I long; for you my soul is thirsting. My body pines for you like a dry, weary land without water.
So I gaze on you in the sanctuary to see your strength and your glory. For your love is better than life, my lips will speak your praise.
So I will bless you all my life; in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul shall be filled as with a banquet; my mouth shall praise you with joy.
You have been my help; in the shadow of your wings I rejoice. My soul clings to you; your right hand holds me fast.
