- A Psalme of Dauid.
When he was in the wildernesse of Iudah.
- 1
- O God, thou art my God, earely will I seeke thee: my soule thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and drye land without water.
- 2
- Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
- 3
- For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
- 4
- Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
- 5
- My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
- 6
- When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
- 7
- Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
- 8
- My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
- 9
- Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
- 10
- They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.
- 11
- But the King shall reioyce in God, and all that sweare by him shall reioyce in him: for the mouth of them that speake lyes, shall be stopped.
