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 1no 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. |
