1. O God thou art my ·God early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:
2. To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;
3. For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.
4. So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5. My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
6. When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:
7. For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.
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 be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes.
11. But the king shall rejoice in God every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
