God Satisfies the Thirsting Soul

631 O God , You are my God ; I shall seek You earnestly ; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water . 2 Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary , To see Your power and Your glory .

3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life , My lips will praise You. 4 So I will bless You as long as I live ; I will lift up my hands in Your name . 5 My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness , And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips . 6 When I remember You on my bed , I meditate on You in the night watches ,

7 For You have been my help , And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy . 8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me. 9 But those who seek my life to destroy it, Will go into the depths of the earth . 10 They will be delivered over to the power of the sword ; They will be a prey for foxes . 11 But the king will rejoice in God ; Everyone who swears by Him will glory , For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped .
