1 O God, You are my God. I will look for You with all my heart and strength. My soul is thirsty for You. My flesh is weak wanting You in a dry and tired land where there is no water.

2 S o I have seen You in the holy place. And I have seen Your power and Your shining-greatness.

3 M y lips will praise You because Your loving-kindness is better than life.

4 S o I will give honor to You as long as I live. I will lift up my hands in Your name.

5 M y soul will be filled as with rich foods. And my mouth praises You with lips of joy.

6 O n my bed I remember You. I think of You through the hours of the night.

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

8 M y soul holds on to You. Your right hand holds me up.

9 B ut those who want to take my life and destroy it will go deep into the earth.

10 T hey will be given over to the power of the sword. They will become food for foxes.

11 B ut the king will be full of joy in God. All who are faithful to God will be full of joy. For the mouth of those who speak lies will be stopped.
