1Unto the end, a psalm for David.
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.
2Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
2So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.
3Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
3Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.
4For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,
4So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift my hands.
5To shoot in secret the undefiled.
5My soul is satisfied as with the richest of foods; with joyful lips my mouth will praise You.
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?
6When I remember You on my bed, I think of You through the watches of the night.
7They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:
7For You are my help; I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.
8And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:
8My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
9And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;
9But those who seek my life to destroy it will go into the depths of the earth.
10And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.
10They will fall to the power of the sword; they will become a portion for foxes.
11The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
11But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
