[1] O God, thou art my God, I seek thee, my soul thirsts for thee; my flesh faints for thee, as in a dry and weary land where no water is. [2] So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary, beholding thy power and glory. [3] Because thy steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise thee. [4] So I will bless thee as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on thy name. [5] My soul is feasted as with marrow and fat, and my mouth praises thee with joyful lips, [6] when I think of thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the watches of the night; [7] for thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I sing for joy. [8] My soul clings to thee; thy right hand upholds me. [9] But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth; [10] they shall be given over to the power of the sword, they shall be prey for jackals. [11] But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall glory; for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
