1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. 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;

<>early will I seek thee, <>seek thee, <>my soul thirsteth for thee, <>my soul thirsteth for thee … thirsty

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.

<>thy lovingkindness is better than life, <>thy lovingkindness

4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

<>Thus will I bless thee while I live, <>I bless thee, <>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.

<>in the shadow of thy wings

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.

<>sweareth by him, <>the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped, <>that speak lies
