| 1A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. | 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. |
| 2So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. | 2So I have looked for you in the sanctuary, to behold your power and glory. |
| 3Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You. | 3Because your gracious love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you. |
| 4Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. | 4So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in your name. |
| 5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips. | 5Just as I am satisfied with the choicest of foods, so my lips will praise you joyfully. |
| 6When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. | 6When I think of you in bed, I will meditate on you in the night watches. |
| 7Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. | 7For you have been my strength, and in the shadow of your wings I will shout for joy. |
| 8My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me. | 8My soul clings to you, even as your right hand supports me. |
| 9But those who seek my life, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth. | 9But as for those who seek to destroy me, they will go down to the depths of the earth; |
| 10They shall fall by the sword; They shall be a portion for jackals. | 10May they be given over to the power of the sword; may they become carrion for jackals. |
| 11But the king shall rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him shall glory; But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped. | 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. |
