1O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You. My body yearns for You in a dry and weary land without water.
1Unto the end, a psalm for David.
2So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.
2Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
3Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.
3Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
4So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.
4For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,
5My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.
5To shoot in secret the undefiled.
6When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.
6They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?
7For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.
7They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:
8My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
8And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:
9But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.
9And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;
10They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.
10And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.
11But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
11The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
