1 O h Dios, mi Dios eres tú; De madrugada te buscaré; Mi alma tiene sed de ti, mi carne te anhela, Cual tierra seca y árida donde no hay aguas,

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 C omo te contemplaba en el santuario, Para ver tu poder y tu gloria.

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

3 P orque mejor es tu misericordia que la vida; Mis labios te alabarán.

My lips will praise You because Your loving-kindness is better than life.

4 A sí te bendeciré durante toda mi vida; En tu nombre alzaré mis manos.

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

5 C omo de meollo y de enjundia será saciada mi alma, Y con labios de júbilo te alabará mi boca,

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

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

On my bed I remember You. I think of You through the hours of the night.

7 P orque has sido mi socorro, Y así en la sombra de tus alas me regocijaré.

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

8 E stá mi alma apegada a ti; Tu diestra me sostiene.

My soul holds on to You. Your right hand holds me up.

9 P ero los que buscan mi vida para destruirla, Caerán en las honduras de la tierra.

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

10 L os destruirán a filo de espada; Serán pasto de los chacales.

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

11 P ero el rey se alegrará en Dios; Será alabado cualquiera que jura por él; Porque la boca de los que hablan mentira será cerrada.

But 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.
