[1] God, you are my God; I eagerly seek you. I thirst for you; my body faints for you in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water. [2] So I gaze on you in the sanctuary to see your strength and your glory. [3] My lips will glorify you because your faithful love is better than life. [4] So I will bless you as long as I live; at your name, I will lift up my hands. [5] You satisfy me as with rich food; my mouth will praise you with joyful lips. [6] When I think of you as I lie on my bed, I meditate on you during the night watches [7] because you are my helper; I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings. [8] I follow close to you; your right hand holds on to me. [9] But those who intend to destroy my life will go into the depths of the earth. [10] They will be given over to the power of the sword; they will become a meal for jackals. [11] But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by him will boast, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
