1As the Hart brayeth for the rivers of water, so panted my soul after thee, O God.
2My soul thirsteth for God, even for the living God: when shall I come and appear before the presence of God?
3Mine tears have been my meat day and night, while they daily say unto me, Where is thy God?
4When I remembered these things, I poured out my very heart, because I had gone with the multitude, and led them into the house of God with the voice of singing, and praise, as a multitude that keepeth a feast.
5Why art thou cast down, my soul, and unquiet within me? wait on God: for I will yet give him thanks for the help of his presence.
6My God, my soul is cast down within me, because I remembered thee, from the land of Jordan, and Hermon, and from the mount Mizar.
7One deep calleth another deep by the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy floods are gone over me.
8The Lord will grant his loving-kindness in the day, and in the night shall I sing of him, even a prayer unto the God of my life.
9I will say unto God, which is my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning, when the enemy oppresseth me?
10My bones are cut asunder, while mine enemies reproach me, saying daily unto me, Where is thy God?
11Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? wait on God: for I will yet give him thanks: he is my present help and my God.
