1 O God, thou art my God;early will I seek thee:my soul thirsteth for thee,my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land,where no water is;
2 to see thy power and thy glory,so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
3 Because thy loving-kindness is better than life,my lips shall praise thee.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live:I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
6 when I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
7 Because thou hast been my help,therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee:thy right hand upholdeth me.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it,shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword:they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God;every one that sweareth by him shall glory:but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
