1
A Psalm of David when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.
2
So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.
3
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.
4
Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.
5
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
6
When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.
7
Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
8
My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.
