1. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee; my soul thirsts for thee; my flesh longs for thee in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water;
2. in this manner I beheld thee in holiness when I beheld thy power and thy glory.
3. Because thy mercy is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
4. Thus will I bless thee in my life; in thy name shall I lift up my hands.
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.
