and my sighs are not hidden from you. - Hear my prayer, O Lord;
do not be deaf to my cry
or ignore my weeping.

your law is in my heart. - O Lord, do not withhold your mercy from me;
may your kindness and your truth keep me safe forever. - As a deer longs for running streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - My soul thirsts for God, the living God.

sweep over me. - During the day the Lord grants his kindness,
and at night his praise is with me,
a prayer to the living God. - Why are you so disheartened, O my soul?
Why do you sigh within me?
Place your hope in God;
for I will once again praise him,
my Savior and my God. - It was not their own swords that won them the land,
nor did their own arms make them victorious;
rather, it was your right hand and your arm
and the light of your face,
because you loved them. - God is our refuge and our strength,
a well-proved help in times of trouble. - Be still and acknowledge that I am God,

exalted on the earth. - Have mercy on me, O God,

and renew a resolute spirit within me. - My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a contrite and humble heart, O God,
you will not spurn. - Surely God is my helper;
the Lord is the one who sustains me. - Entrust your cares to the Lord,
and he will uphold you;
he will never allow the righteous to waver. - When I am terrified,
I place my trust in you. - In God, whose word I praise,
in God I place my trust and know no fear;
what can people do to me? - Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let your glory shine over all the earth. - For your kindness extends to the heavens;
your faithfulness, to the skies. - But I will sing of your strength;
when morning dawns, I will proclaim your kindness.
For you have been my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.
