¹ O God, you are my God! I long for you!
My soul thirsts for you,
my flesh yearns for you,
in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
² Yes, in the sanctuary I have seen you,
and witnessed your power and splendor.
³ Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself,
my lips will praise you.
⁴ For this reason I will praise you while I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.
⁵ As if with choice meat you satisfy my soul.
My mouth joyfully praises you,
⁶ whenever I remember you on my bed,
and think about you during the nighttime hours.
⁷ For you are my deliverer;
under your wings I rejoice.
⁸ My soul pursues you;
your right hand upholds me.
⁹ Enemies seek to destroy my life,
but they will descend into the depths of the earth.
¹⁰ Each one will be handed over to the sword;
their corpses will be eaten by jackals.
¹¹ But the king will rejoice in God;
everyone who takes oaths in his name will boast,
for the mouths of those who speak lies will be shut up.
