1O GOD, thou art my God; on thee I wait; my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee as in a dry and thirsty land where no water is.

2As, in purity, I have seen thee, so may I see thy power and thy glory.

3Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

4Thus will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.

5My soul shall be enriched as with cream and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.

6I remember thee upon my bed and I meditate on thee in the night watches.

7Because thou hast been my helper, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I glory.

8My soul follows hard after thee; thy right hand upholds me.

9But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10They shall fall by the sword; they shall be a portion for foxes.

11But the king shall rejoice in God; every man that swears by him shall glory; but the mouths of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
