To the chief Musician[H5329], Maschil[H4905], for the sons[H1121] of Korah[H7141]. As the hart[H354]panteth[H6165] after the water[H4325]brooks[H650], so panteth[H6165] my soul[H5315] after thee, O God[H430].
2
My soul[H5315]thirsteth[H6770] for God[H430], for the living[H2416]God[H410]: when shall I come[H935] and appear[H7200]before[H6440]God?[H430]
3
My tears[H1832] have been my meat[H3899]day[H3119] and night[H3915], while they continually[H3117]say[H559] unto me, Where is thy God?[H430]
4
When I remember[H2142] these things, I pour out[H8210] my soul[H5315] in me: for I had gone[H5674] with the multitude[H5519], I went[H1718] with them to the house[H1004] of God[H430], with the voice[H6963] of joy[H7440] and praise[H8426], with a multitude[H1995] that kept holyday[H2287].
5
Why art thou cast down[H7817], O my soul?[H5315] and why art thou disquieted[H1993] in me? hope[H3176] thou in God[H430]: for I shall yet praise[H3034] him for the help[H3444] of his countenance[H6440].
6
O my God[H430], my soul[H5315] is cast down[H7817] within me: therefore will I remember[H2142] thee from the land[H776] of Jordan[H3383], and of the Hermonites[H2769], from the hill[H2022]Mizar[H4706].
7Deep[H8415]calleth[H7121] unto deep[H8415] at the noise[H6963] of thy waterspouts[H6794]: all thy waves[H4867] and thy billows[H1530] are gone[H5674] over me.
8
Yet the LORD[H3068] will command[H6680] his lovingkindness[H2617] in the daytime[H3119], and in the night[H3915] his song[H7892] shall be with me, and my prayer[H8605] unto the God[H410] of my life[H2416].
9
I will say[H559] unto God[H410] my rock[H5553], Why hast thou forgotten[H7911] me? why go[H3212] I mourning[H6937] because of the oppression[H3906] of the enemy?[H341]
10
As with a sword[H7524] in my bones[H6106], mine enemies[H6887]reproach[H2778] me; while they say[H559]daily[H3117] unto me, Where is thy God?[H430]
11
Why art thou cast down[H7817], O my soul?[H5315] and why art thou disquieted[H1993] within me? hope[H3176] thou in God[H430]: for I shall yet praise[H3034] him, who is the health[H3444] of my countenance[H6440], and my God[H430].
