1 As the deer longs for the water brooks, ♦︎
so longs my soul for you, O God.
2 My soul is athirst for God, even for the living God; ♦︎
when shall I come before the presence of God?
3 My tears have been my bread day and night, ♦︎
while all day long they say to me, Where is now your God?
4 Now when I think on these things, I pour out my soul: ♦︎
how I went with the multitude
and led the procession to the house of God,
5 With the voice of praise and thanksgiving, ♦︎
among those who kept holy day.
6 Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul, ♦︎
and why are you so disquieted within me?
7 O put your trust in God; ♦︎
for I will yet give him thanks,
who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
8 My soul is heavy within me; ♦︎
therefore I will remember you from the land of Jordan,
and from Hermon and the hill of Mizar.
9 Deep calls to deep in the thunder of your waterfalls; ♦︎
all your breakers and waves have gone over me.
10 The Lord will grant his loving-kindness in the daytime; ♦︎
through the night his song will be with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.
11 I say to God my rock,
Why have you forgotten me, ♦︎
and why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresses me?
12 As they crush my bones, my enemies mock me; ♦︎
while all day long they say to me, Where is now your God?
13 Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul, ♦︎
and why are you so disquieted within me?
14 O put your trust in God; ♦︎
for I will yet give him thanks,
who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
1 Give judgement for me, O God,
and defend my cause against an ungodly people; ♦︎
deliver me from the deceitful and the wicked.
2 For you are the God of my refuge;
why have you cast me from you, ♦︎
and why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresses me?
3 O send out your light and your truth, that they may lead me, ♦︎
and bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling,
4 That I may go to the altar of God,
to the God of my joy and gladness; ♦︎
and on the lyre I will give thanks to you, O God my God.
5 Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul, ♦︎
and why are you so disquieted within me?
6 O put your trust in God; ♦︎
for I will yet give him thanks,
who is the help of my countenance, and my God.

19 Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that took place over Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, and they spoke the word to no one except Jews. 20But among them were some men of Cyprus and Cyrene who, on coming to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists* also, proclaiming the Lord Jesus. 21The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number became believers and turned to the Lord. 22News of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. 23When he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast devotion; 24for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were brought to the Lord. 25Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, 26and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for an entire year they associated with* the church and taught a great many people, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians.
