| 1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah. O God, thou art my God, I seek thee, my soul thirsts for thee; my flesh faints for thee, as in a dry and weary land where no water is. |
| 2 ܐܠܗܝ ܐܠܗܝ ܐܢܬ ܐܣܟܐ ܠܟ ܨܗܝܐ ܗܝ ܠܟ ܢܦܫܝ ܘܡܣܟܐ ܠܟ ܒܣܪܝ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܥܐ ܨܗܝܬܐ ܘܡܛܪܦܬܐ ܕܒܥܝܐ ܡ̈ܝܐ | 2 So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary, beholding thy power and glory. |
| 3 ܗܟܢ ܚܪܬܟ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܕܐܚܙܐ ܥܘܫܢܟ ܘܐܝܩܪܟ | 3 Because thy steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise thee. |
| 4 ܡܛܠ ܕܛܒܝ̈ܢ ܪ̈ܚܡܝܟ ܡܢ ܚ̈ܝܐ ܘܣܦܘ̈ܬܝ ܢܫܒܚ̈ܢܟ | 4 So I will bless thee as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on thy name. |
| 5 ܗܟܢ ܐܒܪܟܟ ܒܚ̈ܝܝ ܘܒܫܡܟ ܐܪܝܡ ܐ̈ܝܕܝ | 5 My soul is feasted as with marrow and fat, and my mouth praises thee with joyful lips, |
| 6 ܐܝܟ ܫܘܡܢܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܬܪܒܐ ܬܕܗܢ ܢܦܫܝ ܘܒܣ̈ܦܘܬܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܐ ܢܫܒܚܟ ܦܘܡܝ | 6 when I think of thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the watches of the night; |
| 7 ܐܬܕܟܪܬܟ ܥܠ ܬܫܘܝܬܝ ܘܒ̈ܠܝܠܘܬܐ ܪܢܝܬ ܒܟ | 7 for thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I sing for joy. |
| 8 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘܝܬ ܠܝ ܡܥܕܪܢܐ ܘܒܛܠܠܐ ܕܟܢ̈ܦܝܟ ܐܫܬܒܚ | 8 My soul clings to thee; thy right hand upholds me. |
| 9 ܢܦܩܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܒܬܪܟ ܘܥܠܝ ܣܡܟܬ ܝܡܝܢܟ | 9 But those who seek to destroy my life shall go down into the depths of the earth; |
| 10 ܗܢܘܢ ܒܥܘ ܕܢܘܒܕܘܢ ܠܢܦܫܝ ܢܥܠܘܢ ܒܬܚ̈ܬܝܬܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ | 10 they shall be given over to the power of the sword, they shall be prey for jackals. |
| 11 ܢܫܬܠܡܘܢ ܠܚܪܒܐ ܘܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܠܬܥ̈ܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ | 11 But the king shall rejoice in God; all who swear by him shall glory; for the mouths of liars will be stopped. |
| 12 ܘܡܠܟܐ ܢܚܕܐ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܘܢܫܬܒܗܪ ܟܠ ܕܝܡܐ ܒܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܢܣܬܟܪ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܕܕܓ̈ܠܐ | |
