As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. | As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. |
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? | My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? |
|
Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me. | Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. |
The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life. | By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life. |
Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. | Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. |
