English text
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 pow'r and glory.
For thy loving kindness is better than life itself,
My lips shall praise thee,
As long as I live, will I magnifie thee on this manner,
and lift up my hands in thy name.
For thy loving kindness is better than life itself,
Because thou hast been my helper:
there-fore under the shad-ow of thy wings will I rejoyce.
Hallelujah.
