A melody of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.1O God, you are my God; I seek you earnestly; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh pines for you in a dry and weary land without water.2Thus I have seen you in the sanctuary, beholding your strength and your glory.3Because your kindness is better than life, my lips will praise you.4So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my palms.5My soul will be satisfied as with fat and ashes, and my lips will praise.6If I remember you upon my bed, through the watches I mutter concerning you.7For you have been help to me, and in the shadow of your wings I sing.8My soul has cleaved after you; your right hand has grasped me.9And they seek my soul for devastation; they come into the lower parts of the land.10They deliver him to the sword; they become a portion for foxes.11And the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by him will boast, for the lip of those who speak deception will be stopped.
