My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary 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. |

| 5You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy. | 5You satisfy me as with rich food; my mouth will praise you with joyful lips. |

| 9But those plotting to destroy me will come to ruin. They will go down into the depths of the earth. | 9But those who intend to destroy my life will go into the depths of the earth. |
| 10They will die by the sword and become the food of jackals. | 10They will be given over to the power of the sword; they will become a meal for jackals. |
