The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

1O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly;
            My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
            In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

      2Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary,
            To see Your power and Your glory.

      3Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
            My lips will praise You.

      4So I will bless You as long as I live;
            I will lift up my hands in Your name.

      5My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
            And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

      6When I remember You on my bed,
            I meditate on You in the night watches,

      7For You have been my help,
            And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.

      8My soul clings to You;
            Your right hand upholds me.

      9But those who seek my life to destroy it,
            Will go into the depths of the earth.

      10They will be delivered over to the power of the sword;
            They will be a prey for foxes.

      11But the king will rejoice in God;
            Everyone who swears by Him will glory,
            For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
