- 1
- ¶ AS the hart pants after the water brook so pants my soul after thee, O LORD.
- 2
- My soul thirsts after thee, O living God;
when shall I come to see thy face?
- 3
- My tears have been my bread day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is your God?
- 4
- When I remember these things, my soul is agitated;
therefore I will enter thy mighty citadel, even to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with the many people who rejoice.
- 5
- Why are you troubled, O my soul?
and why are you bewildered? Trust in God; for I shall yet praise him, the Saviour of my honour and my God.
- 6
- ¶ My soul is troubled within me;
therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, from the mount of Hermon and from the hill.
- 7
- Deep calls to deep at the sound of thy waterfalls: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
- 8
- Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer to the living God.
- 9
- I will say to God, Why hast thou forsaken me?
why go I mourning because of the oppression of my enemies?
- 10
- When my bones are broken, mine enemies reproach me;
while they say daily unto me, Where is your God?
- 11
- Why are you disturbed, O my soul?
and why are you bewildered? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, the Saviour of my honor and my God.
