EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).
Refrain: TOGETHER YOU, LORD, ||: ME FIND MY PEACE. :||
1. MY HEART ARROGANT NOT. ME LOOK-DOWN YOU NOT. MY SOUL, FILLED-UP YOU. FEEL GENIUS A-TO-Z NOT. KNOW-THAT ME NOTHING-TO-IT COMPARE YOU. Refrain
2. MY SOUL QUIET. MY SOUL STAY QUIET. REALLY-WANT YOU IDEA~LIKE BABY REALLY-WANT MOTHER FEED. ME APPROACH YOU IDEA~LIKE CHILD. Refrain
Notes: Underlined prounouns (ME</>, YOU</>, HE) are honorific index (HON.-IX), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.
ARROGANT - (2h)[L:], POs ><, FOs away, are held at forehead and suddenly expand. For a QuickTime movie of this sign, see ASL browser - brat.
LOOK-DOWN - (2h)[V^], PO > away, FO up, hands are held high and FT tip down to show the subject is "looking down" on something/someone.

Lyrics:
Refrain: In you, O Lord, ||: I have found my peace. :||
1. My heart is not proud, my eyes not above you; You fill my soul. I am not filled with great things, nor with thoughts beyond me.
2. My soul is still, my soul stays quiet, longing for You like a weaned child in its mother's arms; so is my soul a child with You. Refrain (twice).
