1 A Psalm{H4210} of David{H1732}, when he was in the wilderness{H4057} of Judah{H3063}. O God{H430}, thou art my God{H410}; early will I seek{H7836}{H8762)} thee: my soul{H5315} thirsteth{H6770}{H8804)} for thee, my flesh{H1320} longeth{H3642}{H8804)} for thee in a dry{H6723} and thirsty{H5889} land{H776}, where no{H1097} water{H4325} is;

2 To see{H7200}{H8800)} thy power{H5797} and thy glory{H3519}, so as I have seen{H2372}{H8804)} thee in the sanctuary{H6944}.

3 Because thy lovingkindness{H2617} is better{H2896} than life{H2416}, my lips{H8193} shall praise{H7623}{H8762)} thee.

4 Thus will I bless{H1288}{H8762)} thee while I live{H2416}: I will lift up{H5375}{H8799)} my hands{H3709} in thy name{H8034}.

5 My soul{H5315} shall be satisfied{H7646}{H8799)} as with marrow{H2459} and fatness{H1880}; and my mouth{H6310} shall praise{H1984}{H8762)} thee with joyful{H7445} lips{H8193}:

6 When I remember{H2142}{H8804)} thee upon my bed{H3326}, and meditate{H1897}{H8799)} on thee in the night watches{H821}.

7 Because thou hast been my help{H5833}, therefore in the shadow{H6738} of thy wings{H3671} will I rejoice{H7442}{H8762)}.

8 My soul{H5315} followeth hard{H1692}{H8804)} after{H310} thee: thy right hand{H3225} upholdeth{H8551}{H8804)} me.

9 But those that seek{H1245}{H8762)} my soul{H5315}, to destroy{H7722} it, shall go{H935}{H8799)} into the lower parts{H8482} of the earth{H776}.

10 They shall fall{H5064}{H8686)} by the sword{H3027}{H2719}: they shall be a portion{H4521} for foxes{H7776}.

11 But the king{H4428} shall rejoice{H8055}{H8799)} in God{H430}; every one that sweareth{H7650}{H8737)} by him shall glory{H1984}{H8691)}: but the mouth{H6310} of them that speak{H1696}{H8802)} lies{H8267} shall be stopped{H5534}{H8735)}.
