| 1 | {A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} O God, thou art my uGod; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water: |
| 2 | To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary; |
| 3 | For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee. |
| 4 | So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name. |
| 5 | My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips. |
| 6 | When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches: |
| 7 | For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy. |
| 8 | My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. |
| 9 | But those that seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth; |
| 10 | They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes. |
| 11 | But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. |
