[1]
so my soul pants after you, 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 ask me, “Where is your God?”
[4] These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,
how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house,
with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
[5] Why are you in despair, my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God!
For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
[6] My God, my soul is in despair within me.
Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.
[7] Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls.
All your waves and your billows have swept over me. [8] Yahweh§ will command his loving kindness in the daytime.
In the night his song shall be with me:
a prayer to the God of my life.
[9] I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
[10] As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me,
while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
[11] Why are you in despair, my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God! For I shall still praise him,
the saving help of my countenance, and my God.
For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah.
As the deer pants for the water brooks,so my soul pants after you, God.§
