Dual Panel1A psalm <04210> of David <01732>, written when <01961> he was in the Judean <03063> wilderness <04057>. O God <0430>, you <0859> are my God <0410>! I long <07836> for you! My soul <05315> thirsts <06770> for you, my flesh <01320> yearns <03642> for you, in a dry <06723> and parched <05889> land <0776> where there is no <01097> water <04325>.
2Yes, in the sanctuary <06944> I have seen <02372> you, and witnessed <07200> your power <05797> and splendor <03519>.
3Because <03588> experiencing <02896> your loyal love <02617> is better than life <02416> itself, my lips <08193> will praise <07623> you.
4For this reason <03651> I will praise <01288> you while I live <02416>; in your name <08034> I will lift <05375> up my hands <03709>.
5As <03644> if with choice meat <02459> you satisfy <07646> my soul <05315>. My mouth <06310> joyfully <07445> praises <01984> you,
6whenever <0518> I remember <02142> you on <05921> my bed <03326>, and think about <01897> you during the nighttime hours <0821>.
7For <03588> you are <01961> my deliverer <05833>; under your wings <03671> I rejoice <07442>.
8My soul <05315> pursues <0310> <01692> you; your right hand <03225> upholds <08551> me.
9Enemies seek <01245> to destroy <07722> my life <05315>, but they <01992> will descend <0935> into the depths <08482> of the earth <0776>.
10Each one will be handed over <05064> to <05921> the sword <02719>; their corpses <04521> will be eaten by jackals <07776>.
11But the king <04428> will rejoice <08055> in God <0430>; everyone <03605> who takes <01984> oaths <07650> in his name will boast, for <03588> the mouths <06310> of those who speak <01696> lies <08267> will be shut up <05534>.
