- The wicked borrows and does not pay back,
But the righteous is gracious and gives. - The steps of a man are established by the Lord,
And He delights in his way. - For the Lord loves justice
And does not abandon His godly ones;
They are protected forever,
But the descendants of the wicked will be eliminated. - Lord, all my desire is before You;
And my sighing is not hidden from You. - Hear my prayer, Lord, and listen to my cry for help;
Do not be silent to my tears;
For I am a stranger with You,
One who lives abroad, like all my fathers. - I delight to do Your will, my God;
Your Law is within my heart. - You, Lord, will not withhold Your compassion from me;
Your mercy and Your truth will continually watch over me. - As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So my soul pants for You, God. - My soul thirsts for God, for the living God;
When shall I come and appear before God? - Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;
All Your breakers and Your waves have passed over me. - The Lord will send His goodness in the daytime;
And His song will be with me in the night,
A prayer to the God of my life. - Why are you in despair, my soul?
And why are you restless within me?
Wait for God, for I will again praise Him
For the help of His presence, my God. - For by their own sword they did not possess the land,
And their own arm did not save them,
But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence,
For You favored them.
