The psalmist expresses a deep longing and thirst for God, having seen God's power and glory. Though in a dry land without water, the psalmist finds satisfaction in God alone and praise God at all times. When remembering God, the psalmist meditates on God for comfort, as God has provided help in the past. The psalm promises that those who cling to God will be delivered and upheld, while those who seek to destroy the righteous will be judged.
