The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.
A Psalm of David, [a] when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
Psalm 63
1 O God, You are my God; I shall seek You [b]earnestly;
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh [c]yearns for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
4 So I will bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5 My soul is satisfied as with [d]marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.
6 When I remember You on my bed,
I meditate on You in the night watches,
7 For You have been my help,
And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
8 My soul clings [e]to You;
Your right hand upholds me.

8 My soul clings [e]to You;
Your right hand upholds me.
9 But those who seek my [f]life to destroy it,
Will go into the [g]depths of the earth.
10 [h]They will be [i]delivered over to the power of the sword;
They will be a [j]prey for foxes.
11 But the king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him will glory,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

This wonderful long-exposure photo was put on the public domain site called pixabayby user " FelixMittermeier". This picture truly exemplifies the varied angles that these
meteors enter our atmosphere. The streaks , dashes and fireballs that can show up in this
annual summer display are actually debris that originated from the Comet Swift-Tuttle ,
and it is called the Perseids Meteor Shower. :) ~ TAP the picture to ENLARGE. ~
