[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 without water. [2] Thus I have beheld You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. [3] Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will laud You. [4] Thus 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 fatness and richness, And my mouth offers praises with lips of joyful songs. [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 portion for foxes. [11] But the king will be glad in God; Everyone who swears by Him will boast, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be closed.
