Psalms 63:1
King James Version
28 Jul 2026
“O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;”
שָׁחַר
Seeking God here carries the urgency of someone rising before dawn — not casually looking, but making Him the very first pursuit of the day, the way a desperate person searches for water in a desert.
