- Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord;
may your love and faithfulness always protect me. - As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God. - My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God? - Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me. - By day the Lord directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life. - Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God. - It was not by their sword that they won the land,
nor did their arm bring them victory;
it was your right hand, your arm,
and the light of your face, for you loved them. - God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble. - He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.” - Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin. - Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me. - My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise. - Surely God is my help;
the Lord is the one who sustains me. - Cast your cares on the Lord
and he will sustain you;
he will never let
the righteous be shaken. - When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
- In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me? - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory be over all the earth. - For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies. - But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble. - Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him. - Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. - Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him. - Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. - My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge. - “And with you, Lord, is unfailing love”;
and, “You reward everyone
according to what they have done.”
You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.For the Lord your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.Next verse!With image
