and he will give you the desires of your heart. - Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun. - Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes. - Better the little that the righteous have

my sighing is not hidden from you. - Hear my prayer, Lord,
listen to my cry for help;

your law is within my heart. - 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.

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.
