Psalms

The Message

1 God—you're my God! I can't get enough of you! I've worked up such hunger and thirst for God, traveling across dry and weary deserts.

2 drinking in your strength and glory.

3 My lips brim praises like fountains.

4 My arms wave like banners of praise to you.

5 I smack my lips. It's time to shout praises!

6 I spend the hours in grateful reflection.

7 I'm free to run and play.

8 and you hold me steady as a post.

9 marked for death, bound for hell.

10 jackals will tear them limb from limb.

11 his true friends spread the joy, While small-minded gossips are gagged for good.
