| The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him. | The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. |
| For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed; the offspring of the wicked will perish. | For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. |
|
| All my longings lie open before you, Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you. | Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. |
| Hear my prayer, Lord, listen to my cry for help; do not be deaf to my weeping. I dwell with you as a foreigner, a stranger, as all my ancestors were. | Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. |
| I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart. | I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. |
| Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord; may your love and faithfulness always protect me. | Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. |
| As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. | As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. |
| My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? | My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? |
| Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. | Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. |
| By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life. | Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto 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. | Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, 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. | For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. |
| God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. | God is our refuge and strength, a very 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.” | Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, 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. | Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. |
| Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. | Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. |
| My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise. | The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. |
| Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. | Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. |
| Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. | Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. |
| When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. | What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. |
| In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? | In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. |
| Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. | Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. |
| For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. | For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. |
| But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. | 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. |
| Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. | Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. |
