[1] AS the hart pants after the water brook so pants my soul after thee, O LORD.
[2] My soul thirsts after thee, O living God; when shall I come to see thy face?
[3] My tears have been my bread day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is your God?
[4] When I remember these things, my soul is agitated; therefore I will enter thy mighty citadel, even to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the many people who rejoice.
[5] Why are you troubled, O my soul? and why are you bewildered? Trust in God; for I shall yet praise him, the Saviour of my honour and my God.
[6] My soul is troubled within me; therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, from the mount of Hermon and from the hill.
[7] Deep calls to deep at the sound of thy waterfalls: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
[8] Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer to the living God.
[9] I will say to God, Why hast thou forsaken me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of my enemies?
[10] When my bones are broken, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is your God?
[11] Why are you disturbed, O my soul? and why are you bewildered? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, the Saviour of my honor and my God.
