1 — O God, thou art my God;
early will I seek thee:
my soul thirsteth for thee,
my flesh longeth for thee
in a dry and thirsty land,
where no water is;
2 — To see thy power and thy glory,
so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 — Because thy lovingkindness is better than life,
my lips shall praise thee.
4 — Thus will I bless thee while I live:
I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 — My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;
and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 — When I remember thee upon my bed,
and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 — Because thou hast been my help,
therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 — My soul followeth hard after thee:
thy right hand upholdeth 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 sweareth by him shall glory:
but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
