God, you are my God. I seek you with all my heart. With all my strength I thirst for you in this dry desert where there isn’t any water.I have seen you in the sacred tent. There I have seen your power and your glory.

I open my mouth and pant like a dog, because I long to know your commands.

I spread out my hands to you in prayer. I’m thirsty for you, just as dry ground is thirsty for rain.Lord, answer me quickly. I’m growing weak. Don’t turn your face away from me, or I will be like those who go down into the grave.

Lord who rules over all, how lovely is the place where you live!I can’t wait to be in the courtyards of the Lord’ s temple. I really want to be there. My whole being cries out for the living God.

Lord, we are living the way your laws command us to live. We are waiting for you to act. We want your honor and fame to be known.My heart longs for you at night. My spirit longs for you in the morning. You will come and judge the earth. Then the people of the world will learn to do what is right.

The Lord is great. He is really worthy of praise. Praise him in the city of our God, his holy mountain.

God is our place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times of trouble.

Lord, you were good to your land. You blessed the people of Jacob with great success again.

Clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with cries of joy.

My heart is full of beautiful words as I say my poem for the king. My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

God, we have heard what you did. Those who came before us have told us what you did in their days, in days long ago.

It opened its mouth. It swallowed up those men. In fact, it swallowed up everyone who lived in their houses. It swallowed all Korah’s men. And it swallowed up everything they owned.

Hear this, all you nations. Listen, all you who live in this world.
