O God, thou art my God

O God, thou art my God:

early will I seek thee.

My soul thirsteth for thee;

my flesh also longeth after thee

in a barren and dry land where no water is.

Thus have I look'd for thee in holiness

that I might behold thy power and glory.

For thy loving kindness is better than life itself:

my lips shall praise thee.

As long as I live will I magnify thee on this manner,

and lift up my hands in thy name.

Because thou hast been my helper,

therefore under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.

Halleluia.
