He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.

Then the channels of water appeared,
And the foundations of the world were laid bare
At Your rebuke, O Lord,
At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.

For the choir director. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So my soul pants for You, O God.

Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Let them flow away like water that runs off;
When he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts.

On account of the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips,
Let them even be caught in their pride,
And on account of curses and lies which they utter.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly;
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.

You visit the earth and cause it to overflow;
You greatly enrich it;
The stream of God is full of water;
You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth.

You water its furrows abundantly,
You settle its ridges,
You soften it with showers,
You bless its growth.

You made men ride over our heads;
We went through fire and through water,
Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.

May the flood of water not overflow me
Nor the deep swallow me up,
Nor the pit shut its mouth on me.

My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long;
For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.

May he come down like rain upon the mown grass,
Like showers that water the earth.

The clouds poured out water;
The skies gave forth a sound;
Your arrows flashed here and there.

I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings of old,

They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem;
And there was no one to bury them.

They have surrounded me like water all day long;
They have encompassed me altogether.

He opened the rock and water flowed out;
It ran in the dry places like a river.

He changes rivers into a wilderness
And springs of water into a thirsty ground;

He changes a wilderness into a pool of water
And a dry land into springs of water;

But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
And it entered into his body like water
And like oil into his bones.

Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of water.

My eyes shed streams of water,
Because they do not keep Your law.

Let my lips utter praise,
For You teach me Your statutes.

They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your abundant goodness
And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness.
