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 |
