001 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O 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;

002 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

003 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

004 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

005 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

006 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

007 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

008 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

009 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

010 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

011 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
