1 - A psalm of David while he was in the desert of Edom.

2 - O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day. For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!

3 - In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.

4 - For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips will praise.

5 - Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.

6 - Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

7 - If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning:

8 - Because thou hast been my helper. And I will rejoice under the cover of thy wings:

9 - My soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.

10 - But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:

11 - They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.

12 - But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
