| 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. | 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 for you in the sanctuary, to behold your power and glory. | 2Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. |
| 3Because your gracious love is better than life itself, 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; 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. |
| 5Just as I am satisfied with the choicest of foods, so my lips will praise you joyfully. | 5My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips. |
| 6When I think of you in bed, I will meditate on you in the night watches. | 6When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches, |
| 7For you have been my strength, and in the shadow of your wings I will shout for joy. | 7For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy. |
| 8My soul clings to you, even as your right hand supports me. | 8My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me. |
| 9But as for those who seek to destroy me, they will go down to the depths of the earth; | 9But those who seek my life to destroy it, Will go 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 be delivered over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey for foxes. |
| 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; Everyone who swears by Him will glory, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped. |
