[1] O God, you are my God. At dawn I search for you. My soul thirsts for you. My body longs for you in a dry, parched land where there is no water. [2] So I look for you in the holy place to see your power and your glory. [3] My lips will praise you because your mercy is better than life itself. [4] So I will thank you as long as I live. I will lift up my hands to pray in your name. [5] You satisfy my soul with the richest foods. My mouth will sing your praise with joyful lips. [6] As I lie on my bed, I remember you. Through the long hours of the night, I think about you. [7] You have been my help. In the shadow of your wings, I sing joyfully. [8] My soul clings to you. Your right hand supports me. [9] But those who try to destroy my life will go into the depths of the earth. [10] They will be cut down by swords. Their dead bodies will be left as food for jackals. [11] But the king will find joy in God. Everyone who takes an oath by God will brag, but the mouths of liars will be shut.
