The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, aYou are my God; I shall seek You earnestly;
My soul bthirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a cdry and weary land where there is no water.
2 Thus I have aseen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
3 Because Your alovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
4 So I will bless You aas long as I live;
I will blift up my hands in Your name.
5 My soul is asatisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers bpraises with joyful lips.
6 When I remember You aon my bed,
I meditate on You in the bnight watches,
7 For aYou have been my help,
And in the bshadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
8 My soul aclings to You;
Your bright hand upholds me.
9 But those who aseek my life to destroy it,
Will go into the bdepths of the earth.
10 They will be adelivered over to the power of the sword;
They will be a bprey for foxes.
11 But the aking will rejoice in God;
Everyone who bswears by Him will glory,
For the cmouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
