1 O God, You are my Mighty God. I will seek You earnestly; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You, as in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.2 I have seen You in the sanctuary, to look upon Your power and Your glory.3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.4 So I will 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 upon 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 has clung to You; Your right hand upholds me.9 But those who 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; everyone who swears by Him shall glory; but the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
