A Psalm of David. To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul.

Rejoice the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

I spread out my hands to You; My soul [longs] for You like a thirsty land. Selah

Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.

Hear the voice of my supplications When I cry to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.

Let my prayer be set before You [as] incense, The lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice.

So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.
