A Psalm
of David,
when he was in the wilderness
of Judah.
O God,
thou art my God;
early will I seek
thee: my soul
thirsteth
for thee, my flesh
longeth
for thee in a dry
and thirsty
land,
where no
water
is;
To see
thy power
and thy glory,
so as I have seen
thee in the sanctuary.
how many times
ποσαπλῶς
posaplōs
untrodden
ἀβάτῳ
abatō
Because thy lovingkindness
is better
than life,
my lips
shall praise
thee.
Thus will I bless
thee while I live:
I will lift up
my hands
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 bed,
and meditate
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 foxes.
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.
