Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me. | O Lord, hear my prayer, incline your ear to my supplications. In your faithfulness respond to me with your righteousness. |
I spread out my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. Selah. | I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah |

Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you. | At dawn let me experience your kindness, for in you I place my trust. Show me the path I must walk, for to you I lift up my soul. |
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness. | Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Let your gracious Spirit lead me along a level path. |
I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever. | I will extol you, my God and King; I will bless your name forever and ever. |
Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable. | Great is the Lord and worthy of the highest praise; no one can even begin to comprehend his greatness. |
Yahweh is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works. | The Lord is righteous in all his ways and merciful in everything he does. |
Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. | The Lord is near to all who call out to him, to all who call out to him sincerely. |
Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down. Yahweh loves the righteous. | And opens the eyes of those who cannot see. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; the Lord loves the righteous. |
Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down. | The Lord watches over the stranger and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he blocks the way of the wicked. |
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. | He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. |
For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation. | For the Lord takes delight in his people, and he crowns the humble with salvation. |
