My Soul Thirsts for You

¹ O God, ^(C1)You are my God; I shall seek You ^(F1)earnestly;
My soul ^(C2)thirsts for You, my flesh ^(F2)yearns for You,
In a ^(C3)dry and weary land without water.

² Thus I have ^(C1)beheld You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.

³ Because Your ^(C1)lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will laud You.

⁴ Thus I will bless You ^(C1)as long as I live;
I will ^(C2)lift up my hands in Your name.

⁵ My soul is ^(C1)satisfied as with fatness and richness,
And my mouth offers ^(C2)praises with lips of joyful songs.

⁶ When I remember You ^(C1)on my bed,
I meditate on You in the ^(C2)night watches,

⁷ For ^(C1)You have been my help,
And in the ^(C2)shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.

⁸ My soul ^(C1)clings ^(F1)to You;
Your ^(C2)right hand upholds me.

⁹ But those who ^(C1)seek my ^(F1)life to destroy it,
Will go into the ^(F2)(C2)depths of the earth.

^10 (F1)They will be ^(C1)delivered over to the power of the sword;
They will be a ^(C2)portion for foxes.

¹¹ But the ^(C1)king will be glad in God;
Everyone who ^(C2)swears by Him will boast,
For the ^(C3)mouths of those who speak lies will be closed.
