and await your reply. - As the heavens are higher than the earth,

O Lord, hear my voice.

wipe away my offenses.

and cleanse me from my sin. - When I am terrified,

and guide me on the way to eternity. - Jesus answered him,

and my Father will love him,
and we will come to him
and make our abode with him.” - You shall observe my commandments and obey them. I am the Lord.

that issues forth from my mouth.

and achieve what I sent it forth to do. - As a deer longs for running streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - You created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

awesome are your works,
as I know very well.
