A Psalm[H4210] of David[H1732], when he was in the wilderness[H4057] of Judah[H3063]. O God[H430], thou art my God[H410]; early will I seek[H7836] thee: my soul[H5315]thirsteth[H6770] for thee, my flesh[H1320]longeth[H3642] for thee in a dry[H6723] and thirsty[H5889]land[H776], where no[H1097]water[H4325] is;
2
To see[H7200] thy power[H5797] and thy glory[H3519], so as I have seen[H2372] thee in the sanctuary[H6944].
3
Because thy lovingkindness[H2617] is better[H2896] than life[H2416], my lips[H8193] shall praise[H7623] thee.
4
Thus will I bless[H1288] thee while I live[H2416]: I will lift up[H5375] my hands[H3709] in thy name[H8034].
5
My soul[H5315] shall be satisfied[H7646] as with marrow[H2459] and fatness[H1880]; and my mouth[H6310] shall praise[H1984] thee with joyful[H7445]lips[H8193]:
6
When I remember[H2142] thee upon my bed[H3326], and meditate[H1897] on thee in the night watches[H821].
7
Because thou hast been my help[H5833], therefore in the shadow[H6738] of thy wings[H3671] will I rejoice[H7442].
8
My soul[H5315] followeth hard[H1692]after[H310] thee: thy right hand[H3225]upholdeth[H8551] me.
9
But those that seek[H1245] my soul[H5315], to destroy[H7722] it, shall go[H935] into the lower parts[H8482] of the earth[H776].
10
They shall fall[H5064] by the sword[H3027]: they shall be a portion[H4521] for foxes[H7776].
11
But the king[H4428] shall rejoice[H8055] in God[H430]; every one that sweareth[H7650] by him shall glory[H1984]: but the mouth[H6310] of them that speak[H1696]lies[H8267] shall be stopped[H5534].
