Thirsting for God in a dry land

¹A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. ²God, you are my God, and I search hard for you. \q My whole self thirsts for you; my body aches for you \q in a dry and worn-out land with no water. ³So I have gazed on you in the holy place \q and seen your might and your glory. ⁴Your loyal love is worth more than life, \q so my lips will sing your praise. ⁵So I will bless you all my life; \q I will raise my hands as I call on your name. ⁶I will be filled as with a feast of rich food, \q and with shouts of joy on my lips my mouth will sing your praise. ⁷When I call you to mind as I lie in bed, \q I muse on you through the hours of the night. ⁸You have come to my help, \q and under the shadow of your wings I sing out for joy. ⁹I hold fast to you; \q your right hand keeps me safe. ¹⁰But those who hunt my life to ruin it \q will sink into the lowest places of the earth. ¹¹The sword will have them in its grip, \q and jackals will take them as their share. ¹²But the king will find his joy in God; \q all who take their oaths in his name will celebrate, \q while liars will have their mouths shut.
