1. A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God; I earnestly seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You, as in a dry and weary land without water.
2. Therefore I have seen you in the holy place, seeing Your power and Your glory.
3. For Your loving-kindness is better than life; my lips give praise to You.
4. So I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5. My soul shall be satisfied, as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips,
6. when I remember You upon my bed. I will meditate on You in the night watches.
7. For You have been a help to me, and I will rejoice under the shadow of Your wings.
8. My soul is cleaved after You; Your right hand upholds me.
9. And those who seek to destroy my life shall go into the depths of the earth.
10. They shall pour him out by the sword; they shall be a serving for jackals.
11. But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by Him shall glory, because the mouth of the one speaking a lie will be stopped.
