1 

O God, you are my God, I seek you,

my soul thirsts for you;

my flesh faints for you,

as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

2 

So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,

beholding your power and glory.

3 

Because your steadfast love is better than life,

my lips will praise you.

4 

So I will bless you as long as I live;

I will lift up my hands and call on your name.

5 

My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast,

and my mouth praises you with joyful lips

6 

when I think of you on my bed,

and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

7 

for you have been my help,

and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.

8 

My soul clings to you;

your right hand upholds me.

9 

But those who seek to destroy my life

shall go down into the depths of the earth;

10 

they shall be given over to the power of the sword,

they shall be prey for jackals.

11 

But the king shall rejoice in God;

all who swear by him shall exult,    

for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
