1 Chanting to David in his being in the desert of Judah. O God thou art my God; I will seek thee: my soul thirsted for thee, my flesh longed for thee in a land of dryness, and thirsty without water. O 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. A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah. You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
2 Thus in the holy place I saw thee, to see thy strength and thy glory. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
3 For thy mercy was good more than life; my lips shall praise thee. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
4 So I will bless thee in my life: in thy name will I lift up my hands. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 As milk and fatness my soul shall be satisfied; and with rejoicing lips shall my mouth praise. My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6 When I remembered thee upon my bed in the watches, I will meditate upon thee. when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
7 For thou wert a help to me, and in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice. for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8 My soul adhered after thee: thy right hand held fast upon me. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.
9 They will seek my soul for destruction, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth. But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth; Those who want to kill me will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10 They shall deliver to the hands of the sword; they shall be a portion of foxes. they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals. They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.
11 And the king shall rejoice in God; all swearing in him shall glory: for the mouth of those speaking falsehood shall be stopped. But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped. But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God will glory in him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
