1Unto the end, a psalm for David.
1 OGod, thou art myGod; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:
2Hear O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
2 To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;
3Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
3 For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.
4For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,
4 So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.
5To shoot in secret the undefiled.
5 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips.
6They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?
6 When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:
7They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:
7 For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.
8And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:
8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
9And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;
9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth;
