1 O God, You are my God; I shall seek Youa Lit earlyearnestly;
My soul thirsts for You, my fleshb Lit faintsyearns 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 withc Lit fatmarrow 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 clingsd Lit afterto You;
Your right hand upholds me. | |
9 But those who seek mye Lit soullife to destroy it,
Will go into thef Lit lowest placesdepths of the earth. | |
10 g Lit They will pour him outThey will beh Lit poured out bydelivered over to the power of the sword;
They will be ai Lit portionprey for foxes. | |
11 But the king will rejoice in God;
Everyone who swears by Him will glory,
For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped. | |
