so I long for you, O God. - I thirst for God, the living God.

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! - They did not conquer the land with their swords;
it was not their own strong arm that gave them victory.
It was your right hand and strong arm
and the blinding light from your face that helped them,
for you loved them. - God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble. - Be still, and know that I am God!

I will be honored throughout the world. - Have mercy on me, O God,
because of your unfailing love.

blot out the stain of my sins.

Renew a loyal spirit within me. - The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.
You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.
