| 1 [[A Melody of David. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah.]] O God, my GOD, thou art, Earnestly do I desire thee,–My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh fainteth for thee, In a land–dry, and weary for want of water,– |
|
| 2 In like manner as, in the sanctuary, I have had vision of thee, To behold thy power and thy glory. |
|
| |
|
| 3 Because better is thy lovingkindness than life, My lips, aloud shall praise thee! |
|
| 4 Thus, will I bless thee while I live, In thy Name, will I lift up mine outspread hands: |
|
| 5 As with fatness and richness, shall my soul be satisfied, And, with joyfully shouting lips, shall my mouth utter praise.
|
|
| 6 Should I call thee to mind upon my couch, In the watches of the night, would I breathe soft speech of thee. |
|
| |
|
| 7 For thou hast become a help unto me,–And, in the shadow of thy wings, will I shout for joy. |
|
| 8 My soul hath run clinging to thee, On me, hath thy right hand laid hold. |
|
| 9 When, they, to crush it, would seek my life, They shall go into the lower parts of the earth: |
|
| 10 Every one shall be given up into the power of the sword, The portion of jackals, shall they become. |
|
| 11 But, the king, shall rejoice in God,–Every one shall glory who sweareth by him, For the mouth of them who speak falsehood, shall be stopped. |
