[1] 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 weary land, where no water is.
[2] So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, to see thy power and thy glory.
[3] For thy lovingkindness 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 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] For thou hast been my help, and 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 be given over to the power of 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; for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
