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 Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. ³ Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You. ⁴ So I will bless You as long as I live ; I will lift up my hands in Your name. ⁵ My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips. ⁶ When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches, ⁷ For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy. ⁸ My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me. ⁹ But those who seek my life to destroy it, Will go into the depths of the earth. ¹⁰ They will be delivered over to the power of the sword ; They will be a prey for foxes. ¹¹But the king will rejoice in God ; Everyone who swears by Him will glory, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
