To the chief Musician,
Maschil,
for the sons
of Korah.
As the hart
panteth
after the water
brooks,
so panteth
my soul
after thee, O God.
My soul
thirsteth
for God,
for the living
God:
when shall I come
and appear
before
God?
My tears
have been my meat
day
and night,
while they continually
say
unto me, Where is thy God?
When I remember
these things, I pour out
my soul
in me: for I had gone
with the multitude,
I went
with them to the house
of God,
with the voice
of joy
and praise,
with a multitude
that kept holyday.
Why art thou cast down,
O my soul?
and why art thou disquieted
in me? hope
thou in God:
for I shall yet praise
him for the help
of his countenance.

O my God,
my soul
is cast down
within me: therefore will I remember
thee from the land
of Jordan,
and of the Hermonites,
from the hill
Mizar.

Deep
calleth
unto deep
at the noise
of thy waterspouts:
all thy waves
and thy billows
are gone
over me.
Yet the LORD
will command
his lovingkindness
in the daytime,
and in the night
his song
shall be with me, and my prayer
unto the God
of my life.
I will say
unto God
my rock,
Why hast thou forgotten
me? why go
I mourning
because of the oppression
of the enemy?
As with a sword
in my bones,
mine enemies
reproach
me; while they say
daily
unto me, Where is thy God?

of my countenance,
and my God.
