1 God! My God! It's you— I search for you! My whole being thirsts for you! My body desires you in a dry and tired land, no water anywhere.
1
O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 Yes, I've seen you in the sanctuary; I've seen your power and glory.
2
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.
3 My lips praise you because your faithful love is better than life itself!
3
Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless you as long as I'm alive; I will lift up my hands in your name.
4
So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on your name.
5 I'm fully satisfied— as with a rich dinner. My mouth speaks praise with joy on my lips—
5
My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast, and my mouth praises you with joyful lips
6 whenever I ponder you on my bed, whenever I meditate on you in the middle of the night—
6
when I think of you on my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
7 because you've been a help to me and I shout for joy in the protection of your wings.
7
for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.
8 My whole being clings to you; your strong hand upholds me.
8
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
