[1] O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You, my flesh faints for You, in a dry and thirsty land with no water. [2] 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] Thus will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. [5] My soul will be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth will praise You with joyful lips. [6] When I remember You on my bed, and meditate on You in the night watches, [7] because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. [8] My soul clings hard to You; Your right hand upholds me. [9] But those who seek my soul to destroy it will go into the lower parts of the earth. [10] They will fall by the sword; they will be a portion for jackals. [11] But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him will glory, because the mouth of liars will be stopped.
