My Soul Thirsts for You
A Psalm of David, awhen he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, you are my God; bearnestly I seek you;
cmy soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in da dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding ayour power and glory.
3 Because your asteadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless you aas long as I live;
in your bname I will clift up my hands.
5 My soul will be asatisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
6 when I remember you aupon my bed,
and meditate on you in athe watches of the night;
7 for you have been my help,
and in athe shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
8 My soul aclings to you;
your right hand bupholds me.
9 But those who seek to destroy my life
ashall go down into bthe depths of the earth;
10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword;
they shall be a portion for jackals.
11 But athe king shall rejoice in God;
all who bswear by him shall exult,
cfor the mouths of dliars will be stopped.
