| | 1 | To the Chief Musician. A Contmeplation of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O 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 say to me, "Where is your God?" | |
| | 4 | When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast. | |
| | 5 | Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance. | |
| | 6 | O my God, my soul is cast down within me; Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, And from the heights of Hermon, From the Hill Mizar. | |
| | 7 | Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me. | |
| | 8 | The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me--A prayer to the God of my life. | |
| | 9 | I will say to God my Rock, "Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?" | |
| | 10 | As with a breaking of my bones, My enemies reproach me, While they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?" | |
| | 11 | Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God. | |
