Psalms - Chapter-63

Chapter Summary

David's desire toward God and Joyful dependence upon Him.

Why does David compare wanting God to thirsting after water in a dry land? Why comparisons can you make regarding that?
Can you describe a time in your life that you have desired God just as much as you desired food or water? What did you learn from that time?
How would you counsel a believer who is struggling with "wanting God" or to desire God?
Why is it important to meditate on the word of God day and night?
Why do you think people in the church today struggle with "desiring God"? How would you suggest this should be fixed?
How does it make you feel when David states "your steadfast love is better than life" (ESV)? How can he say this?
What comes to mind when you think of the word "cling"? Why does David say his soul "clings" to God? How should our souls begin to cling to God?
What are some characteristics of God that cause David to say these wonderful things about Him? How should we respond to those characteristics?
Why does David put such an emphasis on outward praise of God (lips, lifting hands, singing, fainting)? Do you have the same emphasis on the outward praise of God? Why or why not?
What keeps you from desiring God? Why do you think that is?

Longing, v. 1.

God, David.
