1. You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
2. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory.
3. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
4. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5. I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6. On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.
7. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8. I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.
9. Those who want to kill me will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10. They will be given over to the sword and become food for jackals.
