| [1]A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou [art] my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters. |
[1]O God, thou art my God, early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and dry land without water. |
| [2]So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour. |
[2]Thus I behold thee as in the sanctuary, when I behold thy power and thy glory. |
| [3]Because better [is] Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee. |
[3]For thy loving kindness is better than life: therefore my lips shall praise thee. |
| [4]So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands. |
[4]Thus will I magnify thee all my life, and lift up mine hands in thy name. |
| [5]As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with] singing lips doth my mouth praise. |
[5]My soul shall be satisfied, as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips, |
| [6]If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches -- I meditate on Thee. |
[6]When I remember thee on my bed, and when I think upon thee in the night watches. |
| [7]For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing. |
[7]Because thou hast been mine helper, therefore under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. |
| [8]Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold. |
[8]My soul cleaveth unto thee: for thy right hand upholdeth me. |
| [9]And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth. |
[9]Therefore they that seek my soul to destroy it, they shall go into the lowest parts of the earth. |
| [10]They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion for foxes they are. |
[10]They shall cast him down with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes. |
| [11]And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking lies! |
[11]But the king shall rejoice in God, and all that swear by him shall rejoice in him: for the mouth of them that speak lies, shall be stopped. |
