New American Standard Bible 1995 NASB95
English Standard Version ESV
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.
1
O God, you are my God; earnestly 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 Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.
2
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.
3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You.
3
Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.
4 So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.
4
So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.
5
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
6 When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches,
6
when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
7 For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
7
for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.
8
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
9 But those who seek my life to destroy it, Will go into the depths of the earth.
9
But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth;
10 They will be delivered over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey for foxes.
10
they shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be a portion for jackals.
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.
11
But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be stopped.
