My body and soul yearns for you day and night
you are mine for I long
for you my body yearns,
for you my soul thirsts,
like a land parched with lifeless
and without water.
Therefore, I look for you in the sanctuary
to see your strength and power
for your love is better than life.
When I think of you upon my bed
through the night watches, I recall
that you indeed are my help
and in the shadow of your wings
I shout joy
and my soul clings fast to you
your right hand upholds me.
I will remember you forever
here deep calls to deep in roar of your torrent
and your waves and breakers sweep over me.
At dawn you bestow faithful love,
you grant me justice,
defend me from faithless people
from deceitful and unjust people
you sent light and fidelity to guide me
you are my joy and delight.
