1. As the deer pants for the water brooks,so my soul pants after you, 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 ask me, “Where is your God?”
4. These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house,with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
5. Why are you in despair, my soul?Why are you disturbed within me?Hope in God!For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
6. My God, my soul is in despair within me.Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan,the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.
