| 1 | {To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. |
| 2 | My soul thirsteth for God, for the living �God: when shall I come and appear before God? |
| 3 | My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God? |
| 4 | These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude. |
| 5 | Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [for] the health of his countenance. |
| 6 | My God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar. |
| 7 | Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me. |
| 8 | In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the �God of my life. |
| 9 | I will say unto �God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? |
| 10 | As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God? |
| 11 | Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God. |
