1 O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you; ♦︎
my soul is athirst for you.
2 My flesh also faints for you, ♦︎
as in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.
3 So would I gaze upon you in your holy place, ♦︎
that I might behold your power and your glory.
4 Your loving-kindness is better than life itself ♦︎
and so my lips shall praise you.
5 I will bless you as long as I live ♦︎
and lift up my hands in your name.
6 My soul shall be satisfied, as with marrow and fatness, ♦︎
and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
7 When I remember you upon my bed ♦︎
and meditate on you in the watches of the night.
8 For you have been my helper ♦︎
and under the shadow of your wings will I rejoice.
9 My soul clings to you; ♦︎
your right hand shall hold me fast.
