1 You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.4 I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.6 On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.8 I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.9 Those who want to kill me will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.10 They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God will glory in him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.

1 O God, you are my God; early will I seek you: my soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;2 To see your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the sanctuary.3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.4 Thus will I bless you while I live: I will lift up my hands in your name.5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall 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 will I rejoice.8 My soul follows hard after you: your right hand upholds me.9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
