God Satisfies the Thirsting Soul |
| A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. 2.1--0.1 ; 0.15 ; 3.28 |
|
| 1 |
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; |
|
|
| 2 |
to see thy power and thy glory,
| | |
so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. |
|
|
| 3 |
Because thy loving-kindness is better than life,
| | |
my lips shall praise thee. |
|
|
| 4 |
Thus 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 |
Because thou hast been my help,
| | |
therefore 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 fall by 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: |
|
but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. |
|
