- As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So my soul pants for You, God. - My soul thirsts for God, for the living God;
When shall I come and appear before God? - Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;
All Your breakers and Your waves have passed over me. - The Lord will send His goodness in the daytime;
And His song will be with me in the night,
A prayer to the God of my life. - Why are you in despair, my soul?
And why are you restless within me?
Wait for God, for I will again praise Him
For the help of His presence, my God.
The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright,
But ruin to the workers of injustice.
