The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit. You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God. | The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. |
But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive! | Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. |
|
Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. | Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. |
But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. | What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. |
I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? | In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. |
Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens! May your glory shine over all the earth. | Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. |
For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. | For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. |
But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress. | But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. |
I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him. | Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. |
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken. | He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. |
Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. | My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. |
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. | He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. |
My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. | In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. |
Unfailing love, O Lord, is yours. Surely you repay all people according to what they have done. | Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. |
O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. | O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. |
Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. | Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. |
You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver. | For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. |
For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke. | I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. |
Yes, God will bless us, and people all over the world will fear him. | God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him. |
Sing praises to God and to his name! Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds. His name is the Lord— rejoice in his presence! Father to the fatherless, defender of widows— this is God, whose dwelling is holy. | Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him. A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. |
God places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy. But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. | God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. |
Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms. | Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. |
That is why I can never stop praising you; I declare your glory all day long. | Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. |
I will shout for joy and sing your praises, for you have ransomed me. | My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. |
Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. | Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. |
