| 1 ¶ 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 thirsty1 land, where2 no water is;
|
|
| 2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
|
|
| 3 ¶ Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
|
|
| 4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
|
|
| 5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow3 and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
|
|
| 6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
|
|
| 7 ¶ Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
|
|
| 8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
|
|
| 9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
|
|
| 10 They shall fall4 by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
|
|
| 11 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.
