1 O God, thou art my God, I seek thee early
with a heart that thirsts for thee
and a body wasted with longing for thee,
like a dry and thirsty land that has no water.
-- --
Book 2
2 So longing, I come before thee in the sanctuary
to look upon thy power and glory.
3 Thy true love is better than life;
therefore I will sing thy praises.
4 And so I bless thee all my life
and in thy name lift my hands in prayer.
5 I am satisfied as with a rich and sumptuous feast
and wake the echoes with thy praise.
6 When I call thee to mind upon my bed
and think on thee in the watches of the night,
7 remembering how thou hast been my help
and that I am safe in the shadow of thy wings,
8 then I humbly follow thee with all my heart,
and thy right hand is my support.
9 Those who seek my life, bent on evil,
shall sink into the depths of the earth;
10 they shall be given over to the sword;
they shall be carrion for jackals.
11 The king shall rejoice in God,
and whoever swears by God's name shall exult;
the voice of falsehood shall be silenced.
