1Unto the end, a psalm for David.
1A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou <FI>art<Fi> my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.
2Hear O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
2So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.
3Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
3Because better <FI>is<Fi> Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.
4For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,
4So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.
5To shoot in secret the undefiled.
5As <FI>with<Fi> milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And <FI>with<Fi> singing lips doth my mouth praise.
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?
6If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches--I meditate on Thee.
7They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:
7For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.
8And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:
8Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.
9And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;
9And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.
