David thirsts for God, whom he praises with joyful lips.

 O GOD, thou art my God; ^aearly^• will I seek thee: my soul ^bthirsteth^• for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and ^cthirsty^• land, where no water is;

 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

 Because thy lovingkindness is ^abetter^• than life, my lips shall praise thee.

 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my ^ahands^• in thy name.

 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

 When I remember thee upon my ^abed^•, and ^bmeditate on thee in the night watches.

 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

 They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for ^afoxes^•.

 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
