• Psalm 63 is a magnificent example of the intimate experiences of David’s soul “when he was in the wilderness of Judah.” He considers it a desolate place, for he remembers the sanctuary where he had contemplated God; but if there is thirst it is thirst for God, and he desires that the power and the glory of the sanctuary accompany him in the wilderness and manifest themselves in his life here upon earth. The wilderness drives him to God. (“1 Samuel 23” by H.L. Rossier)
