| 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 longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; | 2) | To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. | 3) | Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. | 4) | Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. | 5) | My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: | 6) | When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. | 7) | Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. | 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 fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes. | 11) | But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. |
