- My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
for my expectation is from him. - I delight to do your will, my God.
Yes, your law is within my heart. - Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me? - For you, God, have tested us.
You have refined us, as silver is refined. - Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh,
since we have hoped in you. - Yahweh is righteous in all his ways,
and gracious in all his works. - It is better to take refuge in Yahweh,
than to put confidence in man. - Salvation belongs to Yahweh.
May your blessing be on your people. Selah. - So teach us to count our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom. - May he grant you your heart’s desire,
and fulfill all your counsel. - Lord, all my desire is before you.
My groaning is not hidden from you. - Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a right spirit within me. - When I said, “My foot is slipping!”
Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up. - For you will light my lamp, Yahweh.
My God will light up my darkness. - Praise Yahweh, my soul!
All that is within me, praise his holy name! - As the deer pants for the water brooks,
so my soul pants after you, God. - Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sin is covered. - A man’s steps are established by Yahweh.
He delights in his way. - For Yahweh’s word is right.
All his work is done in faithfulness. - I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies,
as much as in all riches. - Make your face to shine on your servant.
Save me in your loving kindness. - I sought Yahweh, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears. - I have hidden your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you. - I have chosen the way of truth.
I have set your ordinances before me. - I will never forget your precepts,
for with them, you have revived me.
My mouth shall be filled with your praise,
with your honor all day long.The Rock: his work is perfect,
for all his ways are just.
A God of faithfulness who does no wrong,
just and right is he. Train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not depart from it.Next verse!With image
