1

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.

4

5

6

7

8

9

But 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

10

11

But 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.
