So as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

3Because dthy lovingkindness is ebetter than life,

My lips shall praise thee.

4Thus will I bless thee fwhile I live:

I gwill lift up my hands in thy name.

5hMy soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness;

And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:

6When iI remember thee upon my bed,

And meditate on thee in jthe night watches.

7Because thou hast been kmy help,

Therefore lin the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;

my soul thirsts for you;

my flesh faints for you,

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

So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,

beholding your power and glory.

Because your steadfast love is better than life,

my lips will praise you.

So I will bless you as long as I live;

in your name I will lift up my hands.

My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,

and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,

when I remember you upon my bed,

and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

for you have been my help,

and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.

in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water.

So I gaze on you in the sanctuary

My lips will glorify you

because your faithful love is better than life.

So I will bless you as long as I live;

O God, you are my God;

I earnestly search for you.

My soul thirsts for you;

my whole body longs for you

in this parched and weary land

where there is no water.

I have seen you in your sanctuary

and gazed upon your power and glory.

Your unfailing love is better than life itself;

how I praise you!

I will praise you as long as I live,

lifting up my hands to you in prayer.

You satisfy me more than the richest feast.

I will praise you with songs of joy.

I lie awake thinking of you,

meditating on you through the night.

Because you are my helper,

I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings.
