1. O God, thou art my God; earnestly 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. Because 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.
