Berean Standard Bible
“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.”
The title of Psalm 63 places David in the wilderness of Judah, a dry and rugged region he knew well from years as a fugitive, possibly during Absalom's rebellion. In that parched landscape, water was a matter of life and death.
