English text
My soul truly waiteth still upon God;
for of him cometh my Salvation.
He is my strength and my Salvation,
he is my defence, so that I shall not greatly fall.
O put your trust in him alway ye people;
pour out your hearts before him;
for God is our hope.
In God is my health and my glory,
the rock of my might,
and in God is my trust.
Hallelujah.
Amen.
