- But I will sing of your strength;
when morning dawns, I will proclaim your kindness.
For you have been my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble. - In God alone is my soul at rest;
it is from him that my salvation comes. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress, so that I stand ever unshaken. - In God alone be at rest, O my soul;
it is from him that my hope comes. - He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress, so that I stand unshaken. - My deliverance and my glory depend on God;
he is my mighty rock and my refuge. - And so does kindness, O Lord.
You reward each person
in accordance with his deeds. - O God, you are my God,
for whom I have been searching earnestly.
My soul yearns for you
and my body thirsts for you,
like the earth when it is parched,
arid and without water. - Your kindness is a greater joy than life itself;
thus my lips will speak your praise.
I will bless you all my life;
with uplifted hands I will call on your name. - For you, O God, have put us to the test;
you have purified us as silver is refined. - I lifted up my voice in prayer to him;
his praise was on my tongue. - May God continue to bless us
and be revered to the ends of the earth. - Sing to God, sing praise to his name;
exalt him who rides upon the clouds.
Rejoice in the presence of this God
whose name is the Lord.
The Father of orphans and the defender of widows:
such is God in his holy dwelling place. - He gives a home to those who are forsaken
and leads out prisoners amid chants of exultation,
while rebels are forced to live in an arid land. - Blessed be the Lord, day after day,
the God of our salvation, who carries our burden. Selah - My mouth is filled with your praises
as I relate your glory all day long. - When I sing to you, my lips will rejoice,
and so will my soul, which you have redeemed. - Whom do I have in heaven except you?
And besides you there is nothing else I desire on earth. - Even should my heart and my flesh fail,
God is the rock of my heart
and my portion forever. - Help us, O God, our Savior,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us and wipe away our sins
for your name’s sake. - Restore us, O Lord of hosts;
let your face shine upon us,
and we will be saved. - Grant justice to the weak and the orphan;
defend the rights of the lowly and the poor. - It is better to spend one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in God’s house
than dwell inside the tents of the wicked. - O Lord, you are kind and forgiving,
filled with kindness for all who cry to you. - Teach me your ways, O Lord,
so that I may walk in your truth;
let me worship your name
with an undivided heart.
