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 thirsty land, where no water is;
To see thy power and thy glory, 
so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, 
my lips shall praise thee.
Thus will I bless thee while I live: 
I will lift up my hands in thy name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; 
and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
When I remember thee upon my bed, 
and meditate on thee in the night watches.
Because thou hast been my help, 
therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
My soul followeth hard after thee: 
thy right hand upholdeth me.
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, 
shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
They shall fall by the sword: 
they shall be a portion of foxes.
But the king shall rejoice in God; 
every one that sweareth by him shall glory: 
but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
