The Thirsting Soul Satisfied in God.
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, AYou are my God; I shall seek You 1earnestly;
My soul Bthirsts for You, my flesh 2yearns for You,
In a Cdry and weary land where there is no water.
Thus I have Aseen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
Because Your Alovingkindness is better than life,
My lips will praise You.
So I will bless You Aas long as I live;
I will Blift up my hands in Your name.
My soul is Asatisfied as with 1marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers Bpraises with joyful lips.
When I remember You Aon my bed,
I meditate on You in the Bnight watches,
For AYou have been my help,
And in the Bshadow of Your wings I sing for joy.
My soul Aclings 1to You;
Your Bright hand upholds me.
But those who Aseek my 1life to destroy it,
Will go into the 2Bdepths of the earth.
10  1They will be 2Adelivered over to the power of the sword;
They will be a 3Bprey for foxes.
11 But the Aking will rejoice in God;
Everyone who Bswears by Him will glory,
For the Cmouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.
