1 O h Dios, tú eres mi Dios; te buscaré con afán. Mi alma tiene sed de ti, mi carne te anhela cual tierra seca y árida donde no hay agua.

O God, You are my God, earnestly will I seek You; my inner self thirsts for You, my flesh longs and is faint for You, in a dry and weary land where no water is.

2 A sí te contemplaba en el santuario, para ver tu poder y tu gloria.

So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary to see Your power and Your glory.

3 P orque tu misericordia es mejor que la vida, mis labios te alabarán.

Because Your loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.

4 A sí te bendeciré mientras viva, en tu nombre alzaré mis manos.

So will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.

5 C omo con médula y grosura está saciada mi alma; y con labios jubilosos te alaba mi boca.

My whole being shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips

6 C uando en mi lecho me acuerdo de ti, en ti medito durante las vigilias de la noche.

When I remember You upon my bed and meditate on You in the night watches.

7 P orque tú has sido mi socorro, y a la sombra de tus alas canto gozoso.

For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings will I rejoice.

8 A ti se aferra mi alma; tu diestra me sostiene.

My whole being follows hard after You and clings closely to You; Your right hand upholds me.

9 P ero los que buscan mi vida para destruirla, caerán a las profundidades de la tierra.

But those who seek and demand my life to ruin and destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 S erán entregados al poder de la espada; presa serán de las zorras.

They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a prey for foxes and jackals.

11 M as el rey se regocijará en Dios; y todo el que por El jura se gloriará, porque la boca de los que dicen mentiras será cerrada.

But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him shall glory, for the mouths of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
