New King James VersionChristian Standard Bible
1A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.1God, you are my God; I eagerly seek you. I thirst for you; my body faints for you in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.
2So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.2So I gaze on you in the sanctuary to see your strength and your glory.
3Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.3My lips will glorify you because your faithful love is better than life.
4Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.4So I will bless you as long as I live; at your name, I will lift up my hands.
5My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.5You satisfy me as with rich food; my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.
6When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.6When I think of you as I lie on my bed, I meditate on you during the night watches
7Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.7because you are my helper; I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
8My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.8I follow close to you; your right hand holds on to me.
9But those who seek my life, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.9But those who intend to destroy my life will go into the depths of the earth.
10They shall fall by the sword; They shall be a portion for jackals.10They will be given over to the power of the sword; they will become a meal for jackals.
11But the king shall rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him shall glory; But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.11But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by him will boast, for the mouths of liars will be shut.
