1God, you are my God.
I will earnestly seek you.
My soul thirsts for you.
My flesh longs for you,
in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
2So I have seen you in the sanctuary,
watching your power and your glory.
3Because your loving kindness is better than life,
my lips shall praise you.
4So I will bless you while I live.
I will lift up my hands in your name.
5My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food.
My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
6when I remember you on my bed,
and think about you in the night watches.
7For you have been my help.
I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
8My soul stays close to you.
Your right hand holds me up.
9But those who seek my soul, to destroy it,
shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
10They shall be given over to the power of the sword.
They shall be jackal food.
11But the king shall rejoice in God.
Everyone who swears by him will praise him,
for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
9But those who seek my soul, to destroy it,
shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
1 Sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done marvellous things!
His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
2 The LORD has made known his salvation.
He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness towards the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!
Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!
5 Sing praises to the LORD with the harp,
with the harp and the voice of melody.
6 With trumpets and sound of the ram’s horn,
make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD.
7 Let the sea roar with its fullness;
the world, and those who dwell therein.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands.
Let the mountains sing for joy together.
9 Let them sing before the LORD,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
and the peoples with equity.
