- As the deer longs for streams of water,
so I long for you, O God. - I thirst for God, the living God.
When can I go and stand before him? - I hear the tumult of the raging seas
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 by every nation.
I will be honored throughout the world. - Have mercy on me, O God,
because of your unfailing love.
Because of your great compassion,
blot out the stain of my sins.
Wash me clean from my guilt.
Purify me from my sin. - Create in me a clean heart, O God.
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. - But God is my helper.
The Lord keeps me alive! - Give your burdens to the Lord,
and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. - But when I am afraid,
I will put my trust in you. - 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? - Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens!
May your glory shine over all the earth. - For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to 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. - I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from him. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be shaken. - Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken. - My victory and honor come from God alone.
He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. - Unfailing love, O Lord, is yours.
Surely you repay all people
according to what they have done. - 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.
