 1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, you are my God; I will seek you earnestly. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, as in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; 2 so I have seen you in the holy place, seeing your power and your glory. 3 Because your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you. 4 So 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 and think of 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 hard after you. Your right hand holds me up. 9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the depths of the earth. 10 They shall fall by the sword. They shall be a serving 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.
