- 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.
Bible verse of the day
Where can I go from your Spirit?Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
