O God, You Are My God; I Shall Seek You Earnestly

364) “A Psalm of David, when he was in the Judah desert.” David sang when he fled from his father-in-law to the desert. Why did he say, “O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly … in a dry and weary land”? “You are my God” means that I always cling to the name of God, Gevura, since He is in the desert. “I will seek You earnestly.” How could David seek the Creator in a far off land while he was expelled from the land where Divinity is present, which is Jerusalem?

365) However, even though David was expelled from there, he did not leave his own, meaning seeking the Creator. “I will seek You” is as though one says, “I would go and appear before You, but I cannot.” Thus, “I will seek You, but I am outside the place where Divinity is present and I cannot seek you. “My soul longs for You,” since my soul and my body yearn for You, to be seen before You. And I cannot because I am in a dry and weary land, without water, since outside the place where Divinity is present it is called “A dry and weary land, for there is no living water here.” Living water is Divinity, “A well of living water.” This is why it writes, “A dry and weary land,” without water.
