My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed. | I will shout for joy and sing your praises, for you have ransomed me. |
Whom do I have in heaven but You? And with You, I desire nothing on earth. | Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. |
|
My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. | My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever. |
Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; And save us and forgive our sins for the sake of Your name. | Help us, O God of our salvation! Help us for the glory of your name. Save us and forgive our sins for the honor of your name. |
Lord God of armies, restore us; Make Your face shine upon us, and we will be saved. | Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved. |
Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute. | Give justice to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. |
For a day in Your courtyards is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God Than live in the tents of wickedness. | A single day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else! I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God than live the good life in the homes of the wicked. |
For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all who call upon You. | O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. |
Teach me Your way, Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. | Teach me your ways, O Lord, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you. |
Before the mountains were born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. | Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God. |
For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or like a watch in the night. | For you, a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours. |
So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom. | Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. |
May the kindness of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands. | And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful! |
