| | 1 | A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah. O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary 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 | My soul will be 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 | My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. | |
| | 9 | They who seek my life 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's name will praise him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced. | |
