1. O God, You are my God;Early will I seek You;My soul thirsts for You;My flesh longs for YouIn a dry and thirsty landWhere there is no water.
2. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,To see Your power and Your glory.
3. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,My lips shall praise You.
4. Thus I will bless You while I live;I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness,And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
6. When I remember You on my bed,I meditate on You in the night watches.
7. Because You have been my help,Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
8. My soul follows close behind You;Your right hand upholds me.
