Thirsty Soul Blues | Psalm 63 Blues Song

** In this heartfelt blues rendition of Psalm 63, we capture the deep longing and thirst for God that David expressed while in the desert of Judah. This psalm was written by David during a time of great difficulty, possibly when he was fleeing from Saul or Absalom. Isolated in the wilderness, David’s soul thirsted not just for physical water but for the presence of God. Despite the barren environment, David’s psalm is a beautiful declaration of his desire for God above all else, expressing that God’s love is better than life itself.

Why David Wrote Psalm 63:
David likely composed this psalm during one of his most trying times, reflecting his soul’s hunger for God even while physically suffering in the desert. He longed to see God’s power and glory, much like he had witnessed in the sanctuary, and knew that God’s loving kindness was more satisfying than life’s richest pleasures. In the face of enemies seeking to destroy him, David found hope and security in God’s protection and faithfulness.

** Psalm 63 (WEB)
A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.

1 God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you.
My soul thirsts for you.
My flesh longs for you,
in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary,
watching your power and your glory.
3 Because your loving kindness is better than life,
my lips shall praise you.
4 So I will bless you while I live.
I will lift up my hands in your name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food.
My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
6 when I remember you on my bed,
and think about you in the night watches.
7 For you have been my help.
I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
8 My soul stays close to you.
Your right hand holds me up.
9 But those who seek my soul to destroy it
shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword.
They shall be jackal food.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God.
Everyone who swears by him will praise him,
for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.

** Lyrics to "Thirsty Soul Blues"

(Verse 1)
God, You are my God, I’ll seek You every day,
My soul is thirsty for You, in this desert I stay,
No water in this land, but I’m hungry for Your face,
I’ve seen Your power, Lord, in the holy place.

(Chorus)
Your loving kindness, better than life to me,
So my lips will praise You, God, eternally,
I’ll lift my hands, bless Your name while I live,
In Your shadow, Lord, that's where I’ll give.

(Verse 2)
On my bed at night, I remember You,
Through the darkest watches, Lord, Your light shines through,
You’ve been my help, my shelter, my wings,
In the shadow of Your arms, my soul still sings.

(Chorus)
Your loving kindness, better than life to me,
So my lips will praise You, God, eternally,
I’ll lift my hands, bless Your name while I live,
In Your shadow, Lord, that’s where I’ll give.

(Bridge)
For my soul stays close, Your right hand holds me tight,
Those who seek to harm me, Lord, You’ll send into the night.
They’ll fall by the sword, they’ll be jackal's prey,
But I’ll rejoice in You, Lord, every single day.

(Outro)
Your loving kindness, it’s better than life,
And my lips will praise You through the darkest night.
I'll stay by Your side, Lord, in the shadow of Your wings,
And forever and ever, Your praises I’ll sing.
