1 O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

2 T hus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.

3 B ecause Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You.

4 S o I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.

5 M y soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

6 W hen I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches,

7 F or You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.

8 M y soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.

9 B ut those who seek my life to destroy it, Will go into the depths of the earth.

10 T hey will be delivered over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey for foxes.

11 B ut the king will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him will glory, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
