As the hart panteth after the water brooks , so panteth my soul after thee , O God.
My soul thirsts for God, the living God . When shall I come and appear in God’s presence ?
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God : when shall I come and appear before God ?
My tears have been my food both day and night, while men ask me all day long , Where is your God?
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.
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 are you downcast , O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God , for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence .
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 despairs within me . Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon— even from Mount Mizar.
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 calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me.
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day, and at night His song is with me as a prayer to the God of my life.
Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the day time , and in the night his song shall be with me , and my prayer unto the God of my life.
I say to God my Rock, Why have You forgotten me? Why must I walk in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?
I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy ?
Like the crushing of my bones, my enemies taunt me , while they say to me all day long , Where is your God?
As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me ; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
Why are you downcast , O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God , for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
Why art thou cast down , O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God : for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
