A Word

O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.

What it means

David’s physical thirst becomes a prayer of longing for God Himself.

The psalm locates David in the wilderness of Judah, where dryness gives his prayer its language.

Where it addresses you

  • Your prayer feels dry.

  • You have been seeking relief but need to seek God Himself.
