1O God, You are my God,
earnestly I seek You;
my soul thirsts for You,
my body faints for You,
in a dry and thirsty land
where there is no water.
2 I have looked upon You in the sanctuary,
and beheld Your power and Your glory.
3 Your faithful love is better than life,
my lips will praise You.
4 So I will bless You as long as I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5 My soul will be satisfied
as with choice food and abundance;
my mouth will praise You with joyful lips.
6 On my bed I remember You;
I meditate on You during the night watches.
7 Because You are my help,
I rejoice in the shadow of Your wings.
8 My soul clings to You;
Your right hand upholds me.
9 But those who seek to destroy my life
will go down into the depths of the earth.
10 They will fall by the sword;
they will be a portion for jackals.
11 But the king will rejoice in God;
everyone who swears by Him will exult,
but the mouths of liers will be silenced.
