1[[A Psalm (sacred song about or to God) of David [Beloved], when he was in the wilderness of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].]] O God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], youⁱ [are] my God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; early will I seek youⁱ: my soul thirsts for youⁱ, my flesh longs for youⁱ in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

2To see yourⁱ power and yourⁱ glory, so [as] I have seen youⁱ in the sanctuary.

3Because yourⁱ lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips shall praise youⁱ.

4Thus will I bless youⁱ while I live: I will lift up my hands in yourⁱ name.

5My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise [youⁱ] with joyful lips:

6When I remember youⁱ upon my bed, [and] meditate on youⁱ in the [night] watches.

7Because youⁱ have been my help, therefore in the shadow of yourⁱ wings will I rejoice.

8My soul follows hard after youⁱ: yourⁱ right hand upholds me.

9But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.

11But the king shall rejoice in God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; every one that swears by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
