How majestic and glorious and excellent is Your name in all the earth!

O God, You are my God; with deepest longing I will seek You;
My soul [my life, my very self] thirsts for You, my flesh longs and sighs for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

I will exalt You, my God, O King,
And [with gratitude and submissive wonder] I will bless Your name forever and ever.

But through You alone we confess Your name.

May his name continue as long as the sun;
And let men bless themselves by him;
Let all nations call him blessed.

From this time forth and forever.

For His name alone is exalted and supreme;
His glory and majesty are above earth and heaven.

Who is like You, majestic in holiness,
Awesome in splendor, working wonders?

Yes, he is altogether lovely and desirable.
This is my beloved and this is my friend,

And Your truth to the clouds.

Lift up a song for Him who rides through the desert—
His name is the Lord—be in good spirits before Him.

Your truth reaches to the skies.
