| 1 | A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is. |
| 2 | So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, To see thy power and thy glory. |
| 3 | Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise thee. |
| 4 | So 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 | For thou hast been my help, And 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 be given over to the power of 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; For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. |
