1 |
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So my soul pants for You, O God.
|
|
|
2 |
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God;
When shall I come and appear before God?
|
|
3 |
My tears have been my food day and night,
While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
|
|
4 |
These things I remember and I pour out my soul within
me
For I used to go along with the throng and
lead them in procession to the
house of God,
With the voice of joy and thanksgiving,
a multitude keeping festival.
|
|
5 |
Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him
For the help of His presence.
|
|
6 |
O my God, my soul is in despair within me;
Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan
And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
|
|
7 |
Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;
All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.
|
|
8 |
The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the
daytime;
And His song will be with me in the night,
A prayer to the God of my life.
|
|
9 |
I will say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
|
|
10 |
As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries revile me,
While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
|
|
11 |
Why are you in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.
