1. David's thirst for God 63:1-2

63:1 Evidently David's thirst for water in the wilderness led him to express his soul's thirst for God. "Earnestly"is literally "early."As soon as David arose in the morning he became aware of his need for God just as he needed water shortly after waking up. He was speaking of his sense of dependence on God.

63:2 The king had come to realize his need for God earlier as a result of what he had learned about God in the tabernacle. There he had become sure of God's great power and glory.
