(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).
MY SOUL REST ONLY WITH GOD.

MY PLACE PROTECT, MY SAVIOR.

MY SOUL REST ONLY WITH GOD.
THROUGH HIM-ctr SALVATION COME.
Notes: SOUL - NDH [C] or [S] is held close to body and [F] which inserts FT into NDH then slowly draws it upwards with a wavy path. For an animated gif of this sign, see Animated dictionary of religious signs - Deaf Missions: Spirit.
HIM - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.
SALVATION - SAVE.

Lyrics:
Only in God is my soul at rest,
in him comes my salvation.
He only is my rock,
my strength and my salvation.
My stronghold, my Savior,
I shall not be afraid at all.
My stronghold, my Savior.
I shall not be moved.
Only in God is found safety,
when my enemy pursues me.
Only in God is found glory,
when I am found meek and found lowly.
My stronghold, my Savior,
I shall not be afraid at all.
My stronghold, my Savior.
I shall not be moved.
Only in God is my soul at rest,
in him comes my salvation.
