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.
1Unto the end, a psalm for David.
2So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.
2Hear O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
3Because better <FI>is<Fi> Thy kindness than life, My lips do praise Thee.
3Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
4So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands.
4For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,
5As <FI>with<Fi> milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And <FI>with<Fi> singing lips doth my mouth praise.
5To shoot in secret the undefiled.
6If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches--I meditate on Thee.
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?
7For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy wings I sing.
7They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:
8Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand taken hold.
8And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:
9And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the lower parts of the earth.
9And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;
