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.

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

8: My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
