2 So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary,

beholding thy power and glory.

3 Because thy steadfast love is better than life,

my lips will praise thee.

4 So I will bless thee as long as I live;

I will lift up my hands and call on thy name.

5 My soul is feasted as with marrow and fat,

and my mouth praises thee with joyful lips,

6 when I think of thee upon my bed,

and meditate on thee in the watches of the night;

7 for thou hast been my help,

and in the shadow of thy wings I sing for joy.

8 My soul clings to thee;

thy right hand upholds me.
