Bm2
Bm2 - G/B (repeat)
1 O God you are; you are my God,
and earnestly I seek for you my Lord;
my soul thirsts for you
my body longs for you,
in a dry and weary land
Asus Bm2
where there is no water.
D D/G D/F# D/G
2 I have seen you in the sanctuary G/B
D D/G D/F# D/G
and beheld your power and glory.
A2 G2
3 because your love is better than life,
A2 G2
so my lips will glorify you.
A2 G2
4 I will praise you as long as I live,
A2 G
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
D Em7 D/F# G
5 And my soul will be filled with the richest of foods;
D Em7 D/F# G2
with singing lips always my mouth will praise you

Bm2 - G/B (repeat)
6 On my bed I remember you; A/C#
I think of you through the watches of the night.
7 because you are my help,
I sing beneath your wings.
8 My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me.

| A/C | | A/C# | |
||: Dm | A/C# | A/C | G/B :|| A/C

9 Those who seek my life will be destroyed;
they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10 They will be given over, over to the sword
and food for jackals they will be
11 But the king will rejoice, rejoice in God;
who swear by God's name will praise him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
