ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 longeth for thee, in a dry and weary land, where no water is. ² So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, to see thy power and thy glory. ³ For thy lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise thee. ⁴ So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. ⁵ My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips; ⁶ When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in the night watches. ⁷ For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. ⁸ My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. ⁹ But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. ¹⁰ They shall be given over to the power of the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes. 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.
