| 1. | {A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.} God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water. |
| 2. | So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory. |
| 3. | Because your loving kindness 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 the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips, |
| 6. | when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches. |
| 7. | For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings. |
| 8. | My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up. |
| 9. | But those who seek my soul, to 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 jackal food. |
| 11. | But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced. |
