| But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. | 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. |
| Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. | In God alone is my soul at rest; it is from him that my salvation comes. |
|
| He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. | He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress, so that I stand ever unshaken. |
| My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. | In God alone be at rest, O my soul; it is from him that my hope comes. |
| He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. | He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress, so that I stand unshaken. |
| In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. | My deliverance and my glory depend on God; he is my mighty rock and my refuge. |
| Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. | And so does kindness, O Lord. You reward each person in accordance with his deeds. |
| O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. | 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. |
| Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. | 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 thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. | For you, O God, have put us to the test; you have purified us as silver is refined. |
| I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. | I lifted up my voice in prayer to him; his praise was on my tongue. |
| God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him. | May God continue to bless us and be revered to the ends of the earth. |
| Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him. A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. | 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. |
| God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. | 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, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. | Blessed be the Lord, day after day, the God of our salvation, who carries our burden. Selah |
| Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day. | My mouth is filled with your praises as I relate your glory all day long. |
| My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. | When I sing to you, my lips will rejoice, and so will my soul, which you have redeemed. |
| Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. | Whom do I have in heaven except you? And besides you there is nothing else I desire on earth. |
| My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. | Even should my heart and my flesh fail, God is the rock of my heart and my portion forever. |
| Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake. | Help us, O God, our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and wipe away our sins for your name’s sake. |
| Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. | Restore us, O Lord of hosts; let your face shine upon us, and we will be saved. |
| Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. | Grant justice to the weak and the orphan; defend the rights of the lowly and the poor. |
| For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. | 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. |
| For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. | O Lord, you are kind and forgiving, filled with kindness for all who cry to you. |
| Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. | Teach me your ways, O Lord, so that I may walk in your truth; let me worship your name with an undivided heart. |
