|
1 |
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul 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 continually say to me,
“Where is your God?”
|
|
4 |
When I remember these things,
I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
|
|
5 |
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
For the help of His countenance.
|
|
6 |
O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
And from the heights of Hermon,
From the Hill Mizar.
|
|
7 |
Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
|
|
8 |
The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the
daytime,
And in the night His song shall be with me —
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 with a breaking of my bones,
My enemies reproach me,
While they say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
|
|
11 |
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.
