| | 1 | A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. | |
| | 2 | So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. | |
| | 3 | Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You. | |
| | 4 | Thus 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 on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. | |
| | 7 | Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. | |
| | 8 | My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me. | |
| | 9 | But those who seek my life, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth. | |
| | 10 | They shall fall by the sword; They shall be a portion for jackals. | |
| | 11 | But the king shall rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him shall glory; But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped. | |
