He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken. | He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress, so that I stand ever unshaken. |
Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. | 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 where I will not be shaken. | He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress, so that I stand unshaken. |
My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. | My deliverance and my glory depend on God; he is my mighty rock and my refuge. |
Unfailing love, O Lord, is yours. Surely you repay all people according to what they have done. | And so does kindness, O Lord. You reward each person in accordance with his deeds. |
O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. | 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 unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. | 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. |
You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver. | For you, O God, have put us to the test; you have purified us as silver is refined. |
For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke. | I lifted up my voice in prayer to him; his praise was on my tongue. |
Yes, God will bless us, and people all over the world will fear him. | May God continue to bless us and be revered to the ends of the earth. |
Sing praises to God and to his name! Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds. His name is the Lord— rejoice in his presence! Father to the fatherless, defender of widows— this is God, whose dwelling is holy. | 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 places the lonely in families; he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy. But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched 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. |
Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms. | Blessed be the Lord, day after day, the God of our salvation, who carries our burden. Selah |
