1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
1
O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water.
2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
2
Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.
3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
3
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You.
4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
4
So I will bless You as long as 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 thee with joyful lips:
5
My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
6
When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches,
7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
7
For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
8
My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
9
But those who seek my life to destroy it, Will go into the depths of the earth.
10 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
10
They will be delivered over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey for foxes.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
11
But the king will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him will glory, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
