| 1God, you are my God! I will fervently seek you. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for you in a dry, weary, and parched land. | 1O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. |
| 2So I have looked for you in the sanctuary, to behold your power and glory. | 2I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory. |
| 3Because your gracious love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you. | 3Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! |
| 4So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in your name. | 4I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. |
| 5Just as I am satisfied with the choicest of foods, so my lips will praise you joyfully. | 5You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy. |
| 6When I think of you in bed, I will meditate on you in the night watches. | 6I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night. |
| 7For you have been my strength, and in the shadow of your wings I will shout for joy. | 7Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. |
| 8My soul clings to you, even as your right hand supports me. | 8I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely. |
| 9But as for those who seek to destroy me, they will go down to the depths of the earth; | 9But those plotting to destroy me will come to ruin. They will go down into the depths of the earth. |
| 10May they be given over to the power of the sword; may they become carrion for jackals. | 10They will die by the sword and become the food of jackals. |
| 11But as for the king, he will rejoice in God. Indeed, everyone who swears by God will exult, because the mouths of liars will be silenced. | 11But the king will rejoice in God. All who swear to tell the truth will praise him, while liars will be silenced. |
