- As the deer longs for streams of water,
so I long for you, O God. - I thirst for God, the living God.
When can I go and stand before him? - I hear the tumult of the raging seas
as your waves and surging tides sweep over me. - But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me,
and through each night I sing his songs,
praying to God who gives me life. - Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again—
my Savior and my God!
But the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.”
