1Unto the end, a psalm for David.
1God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no 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, watching your power and your glory.
3Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
3Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
4For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,
4So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
5To shoot in secret the undefiled.
5My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
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, and think about you in the night watches.
7They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:
7For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
8And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:
8My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
9And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;
9But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.
10They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
11The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
11But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
