| 1O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. | 1A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O 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. |
| 2So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. | 2Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. |
| 3Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. | 3Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You. |
| 4So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. | 4So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. |
| 5My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, | 5My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips. |
| 6when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; | 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 will sing for joy. | 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. | 8My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me. |
| 9But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth; | 9But those who seek my life to destroy it, Will go into the depths of the earth. |
| 10they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals. | 10They will be delivered over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey for foxes. |
| 11But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped. | 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. |
