Praying with the Psalms 3/6: Psalm 63
by Paola Ng
By Paola Ng// Passages
A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, you are my God - for you I long! For you my body yearns; for you my soul thirsts, Like a land parched, lifeless, and without water.
So I look to you in the sanctuary to see your power and glory.
For your love is better than life; my lips offer you worship!
I will bless you as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands, calling on your name.
My soul shall savor the rich banquet of praise, with joyous lips my mouth shall honor you!
When I think of you upon my bed, through the night watches I will recall
That you indeed are my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy.
Ps 63:1-8
"Whether or not our prayer is heard depends not on the number of words, but on the fervor of our souls." St. John Chrysostom (CCC2700)
Pray Constantly 1 Thess 5:17
Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water."
Jn 4: 13-14
// Reflections
Who is this God of mine?
What is my soul thirsting for?
