Orthodox Jewish Bible 1 (Mizmor Dovid. When he was in the midbar Yehudah). (For the one directing. Mizmor of Dovid). (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid. Shir). O Elohim, Thou art Eli; early will I seek Thee; my nefesh thirsteth for Thee; my basar longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no mayim is; 2 (3) (3) To see Thy oz (might, power) and Thy kavod, as I have beheld Thee in the Kodesh (holy place, sanctuary, Mikdash). 3 (4) (4) Because Thy chesed is better than chayyim, my lips shall praise Thee. 4 (5) (5) Thus will I bless Thee while I live; I will lift up my hands b'Shimcha (in Thy Name.) 5 (6) (6) My nefesh shall be satisfied as with chelev (fat) and deshen (abundance); and my mouth shall praise Thee with lips of joyful singing; 6 (7) (7) When I remember Thee upon my bed, and meditate on Thee in the ashmurot (night watches). 7 (8) (8) Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the tzel (shadow) of Thy wings will I sing with joy. 8 (9) (9) My nefesh followeth hard after Thee; Thy Yamin (Right Hand) upholdeth me. 9 (10) (10) But those that seek my nefesh, to destroy it, shall go into the abysses of ha'aretz. 10 (11) (11) They deliver him into the power of the cherev; they shall be a portion for jackals. 11 (12) (12) But HaMelech shall rejoice in Elohim; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory; but the mouth of them that speak sheker shall be stopped.
