psalms 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; - Free Bible Online

psalms 63:1 [A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah]. O God, Thou art my God; I shall seek Thee earnestly; My soul thirsts for Thee, my flesh yearns for Thee, In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

      Ps 63:1-11. The historical occasion referred to by the title was probably during Absalom's rebellion (compare 2Sa 15:23, 28; 16:2). David expresses an earnest desire for God's favor, and a confident expectation of realizing it in his deliverance and the ruin of his enemies.

      1. early . . . seek thee--earnestly (Isa 26:9). The figurative terms--
      dry and thirsty--literally, "weary," denoting moral destitution, suited his outward circumstances.
      soul--and--flesh--the whole man (Ps 16:9, 10).
