[[A Psalm Chapter of David.] When he was in the wilderness of Judah.]
[1]O God, thou art my God, early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and dry land without water.
[2]Thus I behold thee as in the sanctuary, when I behold thy power and thy glory.
[3]For thy loving kindness is better than life: therefore my lips shall praise thee.
[4]Thus will I magnify thee all my life, and lift up mine 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 on my bed, and when I think upon thee in the night watches.
[7]Because thou hast been mine helper, therefore under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
[8]My soul cleaveth unto thee: for thy right hand upholdeth me.
[9]Therefore they that seek my soul to destroy it, they shall go into the lowest parts of the earth.
[10]They shall cast him down with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.
[11]But the king shall rejoice in God, and all that swear by him shall rejoice in him: for the mouth of them that speak lies, shall be stopped.
