1[531] God, You are my God; I shall be watching for You; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and exhausted land where there is no water.
2So have I seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and glory.
3Because Your [532]favor is better than life, My lips will praise You.
4So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5My soul is satisfied as with fat and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.
6When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches,
7For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
8My soul clings [533]to You; Your right hand takes hold of me.
9But those who seek my [534]life to destroy it, Will go into the [535]depths of the earth.
10[536]They will be [537]turned over to the power of the sword; They will be a [538]prey for foxes.
11But the king will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him will boast, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
