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 .
31 O Lord , how my adversaries have increased ! Many are rising up against me. 2 Many are saying of my soul , "There is no deliverance for him in God ." Selah . 3 But You, O Lord , are a shield about me, My glory , and the One who lifts my head .
4 I was crying to the Lord with my voice , And He answered me from His holy mountain . Selah . 5 I lay down and slept ; I awoke , for the Lord sustains me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about . 7 Arise , O Lord ; save me, O my God ! For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek ; You have shattered the teeth of the wicked . 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord ; Your blessing be upon Your people ! Selah .
