| | 1 | For the director of music. A maskil of the Sons of Korah. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. | |
| | 2 | My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? | |
| | 3 | My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?" | |
| | 4 | These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God, with shouts of joy and thanksgiving among the festive throng. | |
| | 5 | Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and | |
| | 6 | my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon--from Mount Mizar. | |
| | 7 | Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. | |
| | 8 | By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me--a prayer to the God of my life. | |
| | 9 | I say to God my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?" | |
| | 10 | My bones suffer mortal agony as my foes taunt me, saying to me all day long, "Where is your God?" | |
| | 11 | Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. | |
