1 A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my *God; 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. |
