Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will dwell securely.

When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh,
My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation;
There is no health in my bones because of my sin.

For my loins are filled with burning,
And there is no soundness in my flesh.

“Deliver me from all my transgressions;
Make me not the reproach of the foolish.

This is the way of those who are foolish,
And of those after them who approve their words. Selah.

“Shall I eat the flesh of bulls
Or drink the blood of male goats?

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly;
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Remember this, O Lord, that the enemy has reviled,
And a foolish people has spurned Your name.

Arise, O God, and plead Your own cause;
Remember how the foolish man reproaches You all day long.

Thus He remembered that they were but flesh,
A wind that passes and does not return.

They have given the dead bodies of Your servants for food to the birds of the heavens,
The flesh of Your godly ones to the beasts of the earth.

My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.

Because of the loudness of my groaning
My bones cling to my flesh.

My knees are weak from fasting,
And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness.

My flesh trembles for fear of You,
And I am afraid of Your judgments.

Who gives food to all flesh,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

Flash forth lightning and scatter them;
Send out Your arrows and confuse them.

My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord,
And all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever.
