David's poetry expresses desire from the wilderness of Judah. He is not disappointed. The middle verses express his full satisfaction. The final verse heralds the cessation of falsehood.

| Another poetic tricolon |
| אֱלֹהִ֤ים ׀ אֵלִ֥י אַתָּ֗ה אֲֽשַׁחֲ֫רֶ֥ךָּ צָמְאָ֬ה לְךָ֨ ׀ נַפְשִׁ֗י כָּמַ֣הּ לְךָ֣ בְשָׂרִ֑י בְּאֶֽרֶץ־צִיָּ֖ה וְעָיֵ֣ף בְּלִי־מָֽיִם |
2 God my God are you, I will seek you early. My being thirsts for you. My flesh pines for you, in an arid and exhausted earth, failing in waters. | |
