The Darby Translation DBY
1 You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
1
{A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
2
To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;
3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
3
For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.
4 I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
4
So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
5
My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips.
6 On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
6
When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:
7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
7
For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.
8 I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.
8
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9 Those who want to kill me will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.
9
But those that seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth;
10 They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.
10
They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes.
11 But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by God will glory in him, while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
11
But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
