¹ A Psalm of David; when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O GOD, You are my God, earnestly will I seek You; my inner self thirsts for You, my flesh longs and is faint for You, in a dry and weary land where no water is. ² So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary to see Your power and Your glory. ³ Because Your loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. ⁴ So will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. ⁵ My whole being 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 For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings will I rejoice. ⁸ My whole being follows hard after You and clings closely to You; Your right hand upholds me. ⁹ But those who seek and demand my life to ruin and destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth . ¹⁰ They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a prey for foxes and jackals. ¹¹ But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him shall glory, for the mouths of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
