About this psalm

Written in a dry and thirsty land where no water is, and the thirst in it is not for water. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee. Then the line that measures everything else against it: thy lovingkindness is better than life. He remembers God on his bed, in the night watches.

¹O God, thou art my God;early will I seek thee:my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;²To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.³Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.⁴Thus will I bless thee while I live:I will lift up my hands in thy name.⁵My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:⁶When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.⁷Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.⁸My soul followeth hard after thee:thy right hand upholdeth me.⁹But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.¹⁰They shall fall by the sword:they shall be a portion for foxes.¹¹But the king shall rejoice in God;every one that sweareth by him shall glory:but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
