1 God, You are my God; I eagerly seek You.I thirst for You;my body faints for Youin a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.
2 So I gaze on You in the sanctuaryto see Your strength and Your glory.
3 My lips will glorify Youbecause Your faithful love is better than life.
4 So I will praise You as long as I live;at Your name, I will lift up my hands.
5 You satisfy me as with rich food; my mouth will praise You with joyful lips.
6 When I think of You as I lie on my bed,I meditate on You during the night watches
7 because You are my helper; I will rejoice in the shadow of Your wings.
8 I follow close to You;Your right hand holds on to me.
9 But those who seek to destroy my lifewill go into the depths of the earth.
10 They will be given over to the power of the sword; they will become the jackals’ prey.
11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by Him will boast,for the mouths of liars will be shut.
