1. You, God, are my God,earnestly I seek you;I thirst for you,my whole being longs for you,in a dry and parched landwhere there is no water.
2. I have seen you in the sanctuaryand beheld your power and your glory.
3. Because your love is better than life,my lips will glorify you.
4. I will praise you as long as I live,and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5. I will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
6. On my bed I remember you;I think of you through the watches of the night.
7. Because you are my help,I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8. I cling to you;your right hand upholds me.
