1 # < of David <01732>, when he was in the wilderness <04057> of Judah <03063>.>> O God <0430>, thou art my God <0410>; early will I seek <07836> (8762) thee: my soul <05315> thirsteth <06770> (8804) for thee, my flesh <01320> longeth <03642> (8804) for thee in a dry <06723> and thirsty <05889> land <0776>, where no <01097> water <04325> is;
David shows here some keys to experiencing the power of God. We should desire His presence as strongly as our body desires water when thirsty. Paul tells us to earnestly desire spiritual gifts in the following passage:
1 Corinthians 14:1 Pursue [agape] love, and passionately desire spiritual [gifts], but mostly that you may prophesy. [GBMV]
1 Corinthians 14:1 Pursue [agape] love, and passionately desire spiritual [gifts], but mostly that you may prophesy. [GBMV]
2 To see <07200> (8800) thy power <05797> and thy glory <03519>, so as I have seen <02372> (8804) thee in the sanctuary <06944>.
3 # Because thy lovingkindness <02617> is better <02896> than life <02416>, my lips <08193> shall praise <07623> (8762) thee.
4 Thus will I bless <01288> (8762) thee while I live <02416>: I will lift up <05375> (8799) my hands <03709> in thy name <08034>.
5 My soul <05315> shall be satisfied <07646> (8799) as with marrow <02459> and fatness <01880>; and my mouth <06310> shall praise <01984> (8762) thee with joyful <07445> lips <08193>:
6 When I remember <02142> (8804) thee upon my bed <03326>, and meditate <01897> (8799) on thee in the night watches <0821>.
7 # Because thou hast been my help <05833>, therefore in the shadow <06738> of thy wings <03671> will I rejoice <07442> (8762).
8 My soul <05315> followeth hard <01692> (8804) after <0310> thee: thy right hand <03225> upholdeth <08551> (8804) me.
9 But those that seek <01245> (8762) my soul <05315>, to destroy <07722> it, shall go <0935> (8799) into the lower parts <08482> of the earth <0776>.
10 They shall fall <05064> (8686) by the sword <03027> <02719>: they shall be a portion <04521> for foxes <07776>.
11 But the king <04428> shall rejoice <08055> (8799) in God <0430>; every one that sweareth <07650> (8737) by him shall glory <01984> (8691): but the mouth <06310> of them that speak <01696> (8802) lies <08267> shall be stopped <05534> (8735).
