A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.

[1] God, you are my God.
I will earnestly seek you.
My soul thirsts for you.
My flesh longs for you,
in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
[2] So I have seen you in the sanctuary,
watching your power and your glory.
[3] Because your loving kindness is better than life,
my lips shall praise you.
[4] So I will bless you while I live.
I will lift up my hands in your name.
[5] My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food.
My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
[6] when I remember you on my bed,
and think about you in the night watches.
[7] For you have been my help.
I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
[8] My soul stays close to you.
Your right hand holds me up.
[9] But those who seek my soul to destroy it
shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
[10] They shall be given over to the power of the sword.
They shall be jackal food.
[11] But the king shall rejoice in God.
Everyone who swears by him will praise him,
for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
King James Version

A Psalm H4210 of David, H1732 when he was in the wilderness H4057 of Judah. H3063

[1] O God, H430 thou art
My God; H410 early will I seek H7836 (PielImpf) thee:
My soul H5315 thirsteth H6770 (QalPerf) for thee, my flesh H1320 longeth H3642 (QalPerf) for thee
In a dry H6723 and thirsty H5889§ land, H776 where no H1097 water H4325 is;§
[2] To see H7200 (QalInf) thy power H5797 and thy glory, H3519
So as I have seen H2372 (QalPerf) thee in the sanctuary. H6944
[3] Because thy lovingkindness H2617
Is better H2896 than life, H2416
My lips H8193 shall praise H7623 (PielImpf) thee.
[4] Thus will I bless H1288 (PielImpf) thee while I live: H2416 I will lift up H5375 (QalImpf) my hands H3709 in thy name. H8034
[5] My soul H5315 shall be satisfied H7646 (QalImpf) as with marrow§ H2459 and fatness; H1880
And my mouth H6310 shall praise H1984 (PielImpf) thee with joyful H7445 lips: H8193
[6] When I remember H2142 (QalPerf) thee upon my bed, H3326
And meditate H1897 (QalImpf) on thee in the night watches. H821
[7] Because thou hast been my help, H5833
Therefore in the shadow H6738 of thy wings H3671 will I rejoice. H7442 (PielImpf)
[8] My soul H5315 followeth hard H1692 (QalPerf) after H310 thee:
Thy right hand H3225 upholdeth H8551 (QalPerf) me.
[9] But those that seek H1245 (PielImpf) my soul, H5315 to destroy H7722 it,
Shall go H935 (QalImpf) into the lower parts H8482 of the earth. H776
[10] They shall fall H5064 (HiphImpf) by the sword: H3027§
They shall be a portion H4521 for foxes. H7776
[11] But the king H4428 shall rejoice H8055 (QalImpf) in God; H430 Every one that sweareth H7650 (NiphPtc) by him shall glory: H1984 (HithImpf)
But the mouth H6310 of them that speak H1696 (QalActPtc) lies H8267 shall be stopped. H5534 (NiphImpf)
