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.
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.
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.
