- As a deer longs for running streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - My soul thirsts for God, the living God.
When shall I come to behold the face of God? - The depths of the sea resound
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and your breakers
sweep over me. - During the day the Lord grants his kindness,
and at night his praise is with me,
a prayer to the living God. - Why are you so disheartened, O my soul?
Why do you sigh within me?
Place your hope in God;
for I will once again praise him,
my Savior and my God.
Let no one regard you with contempt because of your youth, but serve as an example to the believers in your speech and conduct, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
