David shared in Psalm 143:5-6 that he meditated on God’s works and his soul thirst for God like parched land, a bit like a dry sponge sucks up all the water.
Psalms 143:1,5-6,9-10
[1]Lord, hear my prayer! In your righteousness listen to my plea; answer me in your faithfulness!
[5]I remember the days gone by; I think about all that you have done, I bring to mind all your deeds.
[6]I lift up my hands to you in prayer; like dry ground my soul is thirsty for you.
[9]I go to you for protection, Lord; rescue me from my enemies.
[10]You are my God; teach me to do your will. Be good to me, and guide me on a safe path.
