Psalm 63

 ¹O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

 ²To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

 ³Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

 ⁴Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

 ⁵My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

 ⁶When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

 ⁷Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

 ⁸My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

 ⁹But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

 ¹⁰They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

 ¹¹But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.

   I enjoy reading a lot of the Psalms of David. To know everything that he went through, and yet he still managed to serve God and sing praises to him. There are many inspirational people in the Bible, but lately, I have been reading a lot of Psalms and so I have been inspired by David. It was in another Psalm (Psalm 61, I believe) that he said, "From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I." It's good to see that there were others who got overwhelmed in life, and still managed to praise and serve God - no matter what they went through. It is also good to know how forgiving God was to David (and many others)...it shows us that God can and will forgive us - all we need to do is ask for His forgiveness and He is more than happy to forgive us!
