1  O God, you are my God; ^tearnestly I seek you;

^umy soul thirsts for you;

my flesh faints for you,

as in ^va dry and weary land where there is no water.

2  So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,

beholding ^wyour power and glory.

3  Because your ^xsteadfast love is better than life,

my lips will praise you.

4  So I will bless you ^yas long as I live;

in your ^zname I will ^alift up my hands.

5  My soul will be ^bsatisfied as with fat and rich food,

and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
