A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is.
2So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, To see thy power and thy glory.
3Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise thee.
4So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5My soul shall be satisfied as with 1 marrow and fatness; And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips; 1) Heb fat
6When I remember thee upon my bed, 1 And meditate on thee in the night-watches. 1) Or I meditate
7For thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
8My soul followeth hard after thee: Thy right hand upholdeth me.
9But those that seek my soul, 1 to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth. 1) Or shall be destroyed; They shall etc
10They shall be 1 given over to the power of the sword: They shall be a portion for 2 foxes. 1) Or poured out by 2) Or jackals
11But the king shall rejoice in God: Every one that sweareth by him shall glory; For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
