To the chief Musician{H8764)}, Maschil{H8688)}, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth{H8799)} after the water brooks, so panteth{H8799)} my soul after thee, O God.

2

My soul thirsteth{H8804)} for God, for the living God: when shall I come{H8799)} and appear{H8735)} before God?

3

My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say{H8800)} unto me, Where is thy God?

4

When I remember{H8799)} these things, I pour out{H8799)} my soul in me: for I had gone{H8799)} with the multitude, I went{H8691)} with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday{H8802)}.

5

Why art thou cast down{H8709)}, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted{H8799)} in me? hope{H8685)} thou in God: for I shall yet praise{H8686)} him for the help of his countenance.

6

O my God, my soul is cast down{H8709)} within me: therefore will I remember{H8799)} thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.

7

Deep calleth{H8802)} unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone{H8804)} over me.

8

Yet the LORD will command{H8762)} his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

9

I will say{H8799)} unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten{H8804)} me? why go{H8799)} I mourning{H8802)} because of the oppression of the enemy{H8802)}?

10

As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies{H8802)} reproach{H8765)} me; while they say{H8800)} daily unto me, Where is thy God?

11

Why art thou cast down{H8709)}, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted{H8799)} within me? hope{H8685)} thou in God: for I shall yet praise{H8686)} him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
