1.    {A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} 
 
2.    O God, thou art my łGod; early will I seek thee. My soul  thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and  weary land without water:
 
3.    To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in  the sanctuary;
 
4.    For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall  praise thee.
 
5.    So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands  in thy name.
 
6.    My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my  mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
 
7.    When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the  night-watches:
 
8.    For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings  will I sing for joy.
 
9.    My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth  me.
 
10.    But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into  the lower parts of the earth;
 
11.    They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they  shall be the portion of foxes.
 
12.    But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth  by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall  be stopped.
