Original lyrics in English:

As the deer panteth for the water, so my soul longeth after Thee;
You alone are my heart's desire and I long to worship Thee. (chorus)

You're my friend and You are my brother even though You are a king;
And I love You more than any other, so much more than anything. (chorus)

I want You more than gold or silver, only You can satisfy;
You alone are the real joy giver and the apple of my eye. (chorus)

Chorus:
You alone are my strength, my shield, to You alone may my spirit yield;
You alone are my heart's desire and I long to worship Thee.

Lyrics / translation in Chinese:

我的心渴慕神常同在,如同鹿切慕溪水。
惟有你是我心所愛,我渴望來敬拜你。(副歌)

主捨棄天上君王寶座,為我好朋友、弟兄。
我愛你超過任何人,更勝過一切事情。(副歌)

我的心渴慕神勝金銀,只有你滿足我心。
惟有你能賜真喜樂,你是我眼中瞳仁。(副歌)

副歌:
你是盾牌堅固力量,我身心靈惟降服於你,
惟有你是我心所愛,我渴望來敬拜你。

Translation in Japanese:

鹿が水を慕いあえぐように、
わたしの魂はあなたを待ち望みます。
あなたこそがわたしの魂の望みで、
あなたを礼拝することを切望します。(コーラス)

あなたこそ私の友であり、私の兄弟です。
あなたは王様でありながらも。
そして、ほかの誰よりもあなたを愛します。
そして、ほかのどんな物よりももっと(愛します)。(コーラス)

わたしは、金や銀よりもあなたを求めます。
あなただけが満足させることがおできになります。
あなただけが本当の喜びを与えるお方です。
そして、私の目ひとみです。(コーラス)

コーラス:
あなただけが私の強き、わたしの盾です。
あなただけに私の魂を明け渡しましょう。
あなたこそわたしの魂の希望です。
そして、あなたを礼拝することを切望します。

Translation in French:

Tel un cerf de Qiemu qui cherche de l'eau, mon cœur a la nostalgie de Toi.
Le désir de mon cœur, c'est seulement Toi et j'ai soif de T'adorer. (refrain)

Seigneur Roi, descends de Ton trône pour mon bien, comme en ami et bon frère.
Je T'aime plus que quiconque, plus que tout. (refrain)

Mon amour pour Toi est plus fort que pour l'or et l'argent, Seul Toi donne la plénitude.
Toi seul apporte le vrai Salut et donne la véritable Joie, Ta bienveillance, j'y tiens comme à la prunelle de mes yeux. (refrain)

Refrain :
Tu as la force d'un solide bouclier massif, et je m'abandonne à Toi, corps et âme.
Le désir de mon cœur, c'est seulement Toi et j'ai soif de T'adorer.

Translation in Portuguese:

Como o cervo brama pelas águas,
Assim minha alma suspira por Ti ( ou Assim minha alma anseia por Ti ).
Tu és o único desejo do meu coração
E somente a Ti quero adorar. (coro)

Tu és meu amigo e irmão,
Embora sejas Rei ( ou Ainda que sejas Rei ).
Te amo mais que ninguém,
Muito mais que tudo. (coro)

Te desejo mais que o ouro ou a prata,
Somente Tu podes me satisfazer.
Tu és o único Dador da verdadeira alegria ( ou Tu és o único que dá a verdadeira alegria ),
E a menina dos meus olhos. (coro)

Coro:
Somente Tu és minha força e escudo
Somente a Ti meu espírito se rende.
Tu és o único desejo do meu coração
E somente a Ti quero adorar.

Translation in Spanish:

Como el ciervo brama* por las aguas (no veo porqué diferir de como lo expresa la Biblia)
Así mi alma Te anhela.
Tú eres el único deseo de mi corazón
Y a Ti solo quiero adorar. (coro)

Tú eres mi amigo y hermano,
Aunque eres Rey.
Te amo más que a nadie,
Mucho más que a nada. (coro)

Te deseo más que al oro o la plata,
Sólo Tú satisfaces.
Tú eres el único Dador de la verdadera alegría,
Y la niña de mis ojos. (coro)

Coro:
Tú solo eres mi fuerza y escudo
A Ti solo mi espíritu se rinde.
Tú eres el único deseo de mi corazón
Y a Ti solo quiero adorar.
