1.
A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah. O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
|
|
2.
I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
|
|
3.
Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
|
|
4.
I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
|
|
5.
My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
|
|
6.
On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
|
|
7.
Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
|
|
8.
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
|
|
9.
They who seek my life will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.
|
|
10.
They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.
|
|
11.
But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God's name will praise him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
