My soul [as well as my body] is greatly dismayed.
But as for You, O Lord—how long [until You act on my behalf]?

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory [my innermost self] rejoices;
My body too will dwell [confidently] in safety,

The secret [of the wise counsel] of the Lord is for those who fear Him,
And He will let them know His covenant and reveal to them [through His word] its [deep, inner] meaning.

Be gracious and compassionate to me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;
My eye is clouded and weakened by grief, my soul and my body also.

We wait [expectantly] for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.

As for me, I said, “O Lord, be gracious to me;
Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”

My soul (my life, my inner self) thirsts for God, for the living God.
When will I come and see the face of God?

Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become restless and disturbed within me?
Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall again praise Him
For the help of His presence.

Why are you in despair, O my soul?
Why have you become restless and disquieted within me?
Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.

Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why are you restless and disturbed within me?
Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall again praise Him,
The help of my [sad] countenance and my God.

Glorious is the King’s daughter within [the palace];
Her robe is interwoven with gold.

Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being,
And in the hidden part [of my heart] You will make me know wisdom.

Awake, my glory!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.

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.

My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You,
And my soul, which You have redeemed.

On the day I called, You answered me;
And You made me bold and confident with [renewed] strength in my life.

I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.

Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For I trust in You.
Teach me the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You.

In your lovingkindness, silence and destroy my enemies
And destroy all those who afflict my life,
For I am Your servant.
