O God, you are my God,
    earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you,
    my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
    where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary
    and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life,
    my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
    and in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
On my bed I remember you;
 I think of you through the watches of the night.
Because you are my help,
 I sing in the shadow of your wings.
My soul clings to you;
 your right hand upholds me.

They who seek my life will be destroyed;
 they will go down to the depths of the earth.
They will be given over to the sword
 and become food for jackals.

But the king will rejoice in God;
 all who swear by God's name will praise him,
 while the mouths of liars will be
  silenced.
