1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
         
                                
                        2 To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
         
                                
                        3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
         
                                
                        4 Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
         
                                
                        5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
         
                                
                        6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
         
                                
                        7 Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
