As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God. | As a deer longs for running streams, so my soul longs for you, O God. |
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? | My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come to behold the face of God? |

Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls. All your waves and your billows have swept over me. | The depths of the sea resound in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and your breakers sweep over me. |
Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life. | 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 in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my 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. |
