As pants the hart for cooling streams
我如困鹿切慕溪水，
When heated in the chase,
裏面乾渴難言；
So longs my soul, O God, for Thee,
哦神，我心惟你是追，
And Thy refreshing grace.
並你復甦恩典。

Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
我的心哪，為何憂悶？
Trust God, who will employ
應當信靠我神；
His aid for thee, and change these sighs
祂必使你歎息之聲，
To thankful hymns of joy.
變為讚美、頌稱。

For Thee, my God, the living God,
活的神哪，你是我神，
My thirsty soul doth pine;
我心飢渴要你；
Oh, when shall I behold Thy face,
深願我能親近你身，
Thou Majesty Divine?
面見你的自己。

God of my strength, how long shall I,
神是我的生命、力量，
Like one forgotten, mourn,
何覺孤苦伶仃？
Forlorn, forsaken, and exposed
祂從未曾將我遺忘，
To my oppressor’s scorn?
任令仇敵欺凌。

Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
我的心哪，為何憂悶？
Hope still, and thou shalt sing
祂是你的盼望；
The praise of Him who is thy God,
故當歌唱、讚美你神，
Thy health’s eternal spring.
因祂活泉歡暢。
