3 For thy mercy is better than lives (or For thy love is better than living or is better than life itself); my lips shall praise thee.
4 So I shall bless thee in my life; and in thy name I shall raise mine hands. (So I shall bless thee all my life; and in thy name I shall raise up my hands.)
5 My soul be ful filled as with inner fatness and uttermore fatness; and my mouth shall praise with lips of full out joying (or and my mouth shall praise thee with lips of rejoicing).
6 So I had mind on thee on my bed, in the morrowtides I shall think of thee; (And I remember thee as I lie on my bed, and in the morning, I think of thee;)
7 for thou hast been mine helper. And in the covering of thy wings I shall make full out joy, (for thou hast been my helper. And under the covering of thy wings I shall make great joy,)
8 my soul cleaved after thee; thy right hand took me up. (for my soul cleaveth to thee or for my soul followeth after thee; thy right hand lifteth me up.)
9 Forsooth they sought in vain my life, they shall enter into the lower things of earth; (And they, who seek to take my life, shall enter into the lower things of the earth, that is, into Sheol;)
