1 O God, You are my God;early will I seek You;my soul thirsts for You,my flesh faints for You,in a dry and thirsty landwith no water.
2 I have seen You in the sanctuary,to see Your power and Your glory.
3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,my lips will praise You.
4 Thus will I bless You while I live;I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5 My soul will be satisfied as with marrow and fatness,and my mouth will praise You with joyful lips.
6 When I remember You on my bed,and meditate on You in the night watches,
7 because You have been my help,therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
8 My soul clings hard to You;Your right hand upholds me.
9 But those who seek my soul to destroy itwill go into the lower parts of the earth.
10 They will fall by the sword;they will be a portion for jackals.
11 But the king will rejoice in God;everyone who swears by Him will glory,because the mouth of liars will be stopped.
