[1] God, you are my God. And I want you so much. My soul and my body thirst for you, like a dry, weary land with no water.
[2] Yes, I have seen you in your temple. I have seen your strength and glory.
[3] Your love is better than life. My lips praise you.
[4] Yes, I will praise you in my life. In your name, I lift my arms in prayer.
[5] I will be satisfied as if I had eaten the best foods. And with joyful lips my mouth will praise you.
[6] I will remember you while lying on my bed. I will remember you in the middle of the night.
[7] You really have helped me! I am happy that you protected me!
[8] My soul clings to you. And you hold my hand.
[9] Some people are trying to kill me. But they will be destroyed. They will go down to their graves.
[10] They will be killed with swords. Wild dogs will eat their dead bodies.
[11] But the king will be happy with his God. And the people who promised to obey him will praise God. Why? Because he defeated all those liars.
