So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!

A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah. O God, Thou [art] my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land dry and weary, without waters.

Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

For the knowledge in earth of Thy way, among all nations of Thy salvation.

Rejoice and sing do nations, For Thou judgest peoples uprightly, And peoples on earth comfortest. Selah.
