1 - O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;

2 - To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.

3 - Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.

4 - So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.

5 - My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;

6 - When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time.

7 - Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.

8 - My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.

9 - But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth.

10 - They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food for foxes.

11 - But the king will have joy in God; everyone who takes an oath by him will have cause for pride; but the false mouth will be stopped.
