1. O God, you are my God! I long for you!My soul thirsts for you,my flesh yearns for you,in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
2. Yes, in the sanctuary I have seen you,and witnessed your power and splendor.
3. Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself,my lips will praise you.
4. For this reason I will praise you while I live;in your name I will lift up my hands.
5. As if with choice meat you satisfy my soul.My mouth joyfully praises you,
6. whenever I remember you on my bed,and think about you during the nighttime hours.
7. For you are my deliverer;under your wings I rejoice.
8. My soul pursues you;your right hand upholds me.
9. Enemies seek to destroy my life,but they will descend into the depths of the earth.
