Only Version ❧ CM · 8·6·8·6
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
1 O God, thou art my God, early I will for thee enquire: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh for thee hath strong desire, in land whereas no water is that thirsty is and dry. 2 To see, as I saw in thine house thy strength and thy glory.
3 Because thy lovingkindness doth abundantly excel ev’n life itself: wherefore my lips forth shall thy praises tell. 4 Thus will I blessing give to thee whilst that alive am I: and in thy name I will lift up these hands of mine on high.
5 My soul as with marrow and fat shall satisfied be: my mouth also with joyful lips shall praise give unto thee. 6 When as that I remembrance have of thee my bed upon, and on thee in the night watches have meditation.
7 Because that thou hast been to me he that to me help brings; therefore will I sing joyfully in shadow of thy wings. 8 My soul out of an ardent love doth follow after thee: also thy right hand it is that which hath upholden me.
9 But as for those that seek my soul to bring it to an end, they shall into the lower parts of the earth down descend. 10 By the hand of the sword also they shall be made to fall: and they be for a portion unto the foxes shall.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God, all that by him do swear shall glory, but stopped shall be their mouths that liars are.
