| 1 [Psalm Of David When he was in the desert of Judah] God, you are my God, I pine for you; my heartthirsts for you, my body longs for you, as a land parched, dreary and waterless. |
| 2 ܐܠܗܝ ܐܠܗܝ ܐܢܬ ܐܣܟܐ ܠܟ ܨܗܝܐ ܗܝ ܠܟ ܢܦܫܝ ܘܡܣܟܐ ܠܟ ܒܣܪܝ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܥܐ ܨܗܝܬܐ ܘܡܛܪܦܬܐ ܕܒܥܝܐ ܡ̈ܝܐ | 2 Thus I have gazed on you in the sanctuary, seeing your power and your glory. |
| 3 ܗܟܢ ܚܪܬܟ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܕܐܚܙܐ ܥܘܫܢܟ ܘܐܝܩܪܟ | 3 Better your faithful love than life itself; my lips wil praise you. |
| 4 ܡܛܠ ܕܛܒܝ̈ܢ ܪ̈ܚܡܝܟ ܡܢ ܚ̈ܝܐ ܘܣܦܘ̈ܬܝ ܢܫܒܚ̈ܢܟ | 4 Thus I will bless you al my life, in your name lift up my hands. |
| 5 ܗܟܢ ܐܒܪܟܟ ܒܚ̈ܝܝ ܘܒܫܡܟ ܐܪܝܡ ܐ̈ܝܕܝ | 5 Al my longings fulfil ed as with fat and rich foods, a song of joy on my lips and praise in my mouth. |
| 6 ܐܝܟ ܫܘܡܢܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܬܪܒܐ ܬܕܗܢ ܢܦܫܝ ܘܒܣ̈ܦܘܬܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܐ ܢܫܒܚܟ ܦܘܡܝ | 6 On my bed when I think of you, I muse on you in the watches of the night, |
| 7 ܐܬܕܟܪܬܟ ܥܠ ܬܫܘܝܬܝ ܘܒ̈ܠܝܠܘܬܐ ܪܢܝܬ ܒܟ | 7 for you have always been my help; in the shadow of your wings I rejoice; |
| 8 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘܝܬ ܠܝ ܡܥܕܪܢܐ ܘܒܛܠܠܐ ܕܟܢ̈ܦܝܟ ܐܫܬܒܚ | 8 my heart clings to you, your right hand supports me. |
| 9 ܢܦܩܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܒܬܪܟ ܘܥܠܝ ܣܡܟܬ ܝܡܝܢܟ | 9 May those who are hounding me to death go down to the depths of the earth, |
| 10 ܗܢܘܢ ܒܥܘ ܕܢܘܒܕܘܢ ܠܢܦܫܝ ܢܥܠܘܢ ܒܬܚ̈ܬܝܬܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ | 10 given over to the blade of the sword, and left as food for jackals. |
| 11 ܢܫܬܠܡܘܢ ܠܚܪܒܐ ܘܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܠܬܥ̈ܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ | 11 Then the king shall rejoice in God, al who swear by him shal gain recognition, for the mouths of liarsshall be silenced. |
| 12 ܘܡܠܟܐ ܢܚܕܐ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܘܢܫܬܒܗܪ ܟܠ ܕܝܡܐ ܒܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܢܣܬܟܪ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܕܕܓ̈ܠܐ | |
