- God, you are my God.
I will earnestly seek you.
My soul thirsts for you.
My flesh longs for you,
in a dry and weary land, where there is no water. - Because your loving kindness is better than life,
my lips shall praise you.
So I will bless you while I live.
I will lift up my hands in your name. - For you, God, have tested us.
You have refined us, as silver is refined. - I cried to him with my mouth.
He was extolled with my tongue. - God will bless us.
All the ends of the earth shall fear him. - Sing to God! Sing praises to his name!
Extol him who rides on the clouds:
to Yah, his name!
Rejoice before him!
A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows,
is God in his holy habitation. - God sets the lonely in families.
He brings out the prisoners with singing,
but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land. - Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens,
even the God who is our salvation. Selah. - My mouth shall be filled with your praise,
with your honor all day long. - My lips shall shout for joy!
My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you! - Whom do I have in heaven?
There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you. - My flesh and my heart fails,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. - Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name.
Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake. - Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies.
Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. - Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless.
Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. - For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God,
than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. - For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you. - Teach me your way, Yahweh.
I will walk in your truth.
Make my heart undivided to fear your name. - Before the mountains were born,
before you had formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. - For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past,
like a watch in the night. - So teach us to count our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom. - Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us.
Establish the work of our hands for us.
Yes, establish the work of our hands. - He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.” - He will cover you with his feathers.
Under his wings you will take refuge.
His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. - When I said, “My foot is slipping!”
Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.
