There Is None Upon the Earth I Desire Beside Thee O God
As the deer pants after the water brooks, so longs my heart after You O God! The Living God. Psalms 42:1
My heart longs after You with a deep longing. Day by day my heart yearns for the living God; my soul thirsts for You O God!
Night by night I meditate upon Your Word and remember Your righteous and tender acts towards me O God.
Whom have I in heaven beside You? Whom have I on earth aside from You?
My bones cleave onto Your Word as a child cleaves unto its mother.
Your Word is more sweet to me than honey, and to keep it, though accompanied by the bearing of a cross, brings much delight to my soul.
My life, my substance, my heart, my flesh and bones belong to You O God.
I delight to think thoughts after You, for such are thoughts that translate to peace, tranquility, joy, and rest to the soul.
Saving Jesus, I am not ashamed to be termed a fool for reason of Your Sweet Name. A name that brings much calm to my soul.
Indeed, Your name is a strong tower, and whenever, and wherever I run into it I am safe.
Psalms 73
24 You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
26 My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27 For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, That I may declare all Your works.
