^{1 Ref} > God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you, My flesh longs for you, In a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

^{2 Ref} So I have seen you in the sanctuary, Watching your power and your glory.

^{3 Ref} Because your loving kindness is better than life, My lips shall praise you.

^{4 Ref} So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

^{5 Ref} My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

^{6 Ref} When I remember you on my bed, And think about you in the night watches.

^{7 Ref} For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

^{8 Ref} My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

^{9 Ref} But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

^{10 Ref} They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

^{11 Ref} But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, For the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
