1 You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
2 I have seen you
in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your
glory.
3 Because your love is better than
life,
my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I
live,
and in your name I will lift up my
hands.
5 I will be fully satisfied as with the
richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise
you.
6 On my bed I
remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the
night.
7 Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your
wings.
8 I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me.
9 Those who want to
kill me will be destroyed;
they will go down to the depths of the
earth.
10 They will be given over to the
sword
and become food for jackals.
11 But the king
will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God will glory in
him,
while the mouths of liars will be
silenced.
