1: O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul
thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land,
where no water is; |
|
2: To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the
sanctuary. |
|
3:
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall
praise thee. |
|
4: Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands
in thy name. |
|
5: My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my
mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: |
|
6: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the
night watches. |
|
7: Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy
wings will I rejoice. |
|
8: My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth
me. |
|
9: But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the
lower parts of the earth. |
|
10: They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for
foxes. |
|
11: But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by
him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. |
