1O God, Thou art my God; early will I seek Thee; my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is, 2To see Thy power and Thy glory, {so} as I have seen Thee in the sanctuary. 3Because Thy loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee. 4Thus will I bless Thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in Thy name. 5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise Thee with joyful lips, 6When I remember Thee upon my bed, and meditate on Thee in the night watches. 7Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice. 8My soul followeth hard after Thee; Thy right hand upholdeth me.

9But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. 10They shall fall by the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes. 11But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory; but the mouth of them who speak lies shall be stopped.
