Thirst is more vehement than hunger, and more impatient of dissatisfaction.

For the living God: this he mentions as a just cause of his thirst. He did not thirst after vain, useless idols, but after the only true and living God, who was

his life, and the length of his days, as is said, Deu_30:20, and without whose presence and favour David accounted himself for a dead and lost man, Psa_143:7.

Appear before God; in the place of his special presence and public worship. See Exo_23:15 25:30. What is called before the Lord, 1Ch_13:10, is before or with the ark, 2Sa_6:7.
