As the deer pants for the water

[Dedi]

Please accept my apology for cutting in on this topic but can anyone translate song for me in from English to romanized Japanese? Thank you so much.
Lyrics: As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after you
You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship you
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 you

Hello and welcome!

I split your request into a separate thread - it will receive more attention like this. Hope our Japanese speaking friends spot it soon

I'm sorry I have no idea to understand these lyrics.
Because

deer is animal's noun sika, しか、鹿
pants is trousers, isn't it?

We don't have any meaning of "deer pants for the water".
Would you tell me if you know this in English and possibly tell me what these lyrics are?

"Pant" usually means "to breathe heavily," usually from exercise. However here "pants" means "to yearn for," "to thirst for."

Hope that helps a little.

Thank you Isotta,
Oh really, I laughed at my mistake
Then this will be that a deer breathes heavily due to its requirement of water.

I think I will be able to translate them soon--wait a moment

You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship you
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 you

This first line is from Psalm 42: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=23&chapter=42&version=31

Here's a translation I found into Japanese:

鹿が水を切望するように
私の魂もあなたを求めている
あなただけがわたしの望み
私はあなたを崇拝したい
（コーラス）
あなただけが私の力、盾、
私の魂はあなただけに従属する
あなただけが私の望み、
私はあなただけを崇拝したい


鹿が水を求むごとく、わが魂も主を熱望する
主のみが我が希望、主を崇拝したい
（合唱）
主のみが我が希望、主のみに魂は従属する
主のみが我が希望、主を崇拝したい

ARIGATO !!

Thank you for your assistance regarding the words to this hymn. I did find them and here they are:
Tani-gawa no nagare wo shitau,
Shika no yoni,
Shu yo, wata tamashii,
Anata wo shitau.
Anata koso waga tate,
Anata koso waga chikara,
Anata koso waga nozomi,
Ware wa Shu wo aogu.
