As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? Psalm 42:1-2

Psalm 142

I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.
I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have have they privily laid a snare for me.
I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.
I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
Attend unto my cry: for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.
Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

An Amazing Thought!

But I am poor and needy; yet the LORD thinketh upon me. Psalm 40:17a

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the the meek with salvation. Psalm 149:4

This has always been an overwhelming thought to me, that God Almighty not only thinks about me, but takes pleasure in me! When I think about this, I understand why the Psalms of David are so full of praises to our God.    
Psalm 135:3 Praise ye the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
Psalm 117 O PRAISE the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 106:1 PRAISE ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good:for his mercy endureth forever.
