1. A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
|
1. A Psalm H4210 of David H1732 , when he was H1961 in the wilderness H4057 of Judah H3063 . O God H430 , thou H859 art my God H410 ; early will I seek H7836 thee : my soul H5315 thirsteth H6770 for thee , my flesh H1320 longeth H3642 for thee in a dry H6723 and thirsty H5889 land H776 , where no H1097 water H4325 is;
|
|
2. O God, you are my God-- for you I long! For you my body yearns; for you my soul thirsts, Like a land parched, lifeless, and without water.
|
2. To see H7200 thy power H5797 and thy glory H3519 , so H3651 as I have seen H2372 thee in the sanctuary H6944 .
|
|
3. So I look to you in the sanctuary to see your power and glory.
|
3. Because H3588 thy lovingkindness H2617 is better H2896 than life H4480 H2416 , my lips H8193 shall praise H7623 thee.
|
|
4. For your love is better than life; my lips offer you worship!
|
4. Thus H3651 will I bless H1288 thee while I live H2416 : I will lift up H5375 my hands H3709 in thy name H8034 .
|
|
5. I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands, calling on your name.
|
5. My soul H5315 shall be satisfied H7646 as H3644 with marrow H2459 and fatness H1880 ; and my mouth H6310 shall praise H1984 thee with joyful H7445 lips H8193 :
|
|
6. My soul shall savor the rich banquet of praise, with joyous lips my mouth shall honor you!
|
6. When H518 I remember H2142 thee upon H5921 my bed H3326 , and meditate H1897 on thee in the night watches H821 .
|
|
7. When I think of you upon my bed, through the night watches I will recall
|
7. Because H3588 thou hast been H1961 my help H5833 , therefore in the shadow H6738 of thy wings H3671 will I rejoice H7442 .
|
|
8. That you indeed are my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy.
|
8. My soul H5315 followeth hard H1692 after H310 thee : thy right hand H3225 upholdeth H8551 me.
|
|
9. My soul clings fast to you; your right hand upholds me.
|
9. But those H1992 that seek H1245 my soul H5315 , to destroy H7722 it , shall go H935 into the lower parts H8482 of the earth H776 .
|
|
10. But those who seek my life will come to ruin; they shall go down to the depths of the earth!
|
10. They shall fall H5064 by H5921 H3027 the sword H2719 : they shall be H1961 a portion H4521 for foxes H7776 .
|
|
11. They shall be handed over to the sword and become the prey of jackals!
|
11. But the king H4428 shall rejoice H8055 in God H430 ; every one H3605 that sweareth H7650 by him shall glory H1984 : but H3588 the mouth H6310 of them that speak H1696 lies H8267 shall be stopped H5534 .
|
|
12. But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by the Lord shall exult, for the mouths of liars will be shut!
|
12.
