- 1
- {To the chief Musician.
An instruction; of the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
- 2
- My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
- 3
- My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
- 4
- These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude.
- 5
- Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me?
hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [for] the health of his countenance.
- 6
- My God, my soul is cast down within me;
therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar.
- 7
- Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts;
all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.
- 8
- In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the God of my life.
- 9
- I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?
why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
- 10
- As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?
- 11
- Why art thou cast down, my soul?
and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
