## Text

[1] As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul longs after You, O God. [2] My soul thirsts for God, the living God.
When shall I come and appear in God’s presence? [3] My tears have been my food
both day and night,
while men ask me all day long,
“Where is your God?” [4] These things come to mind as I pour out my soul:
how I walked with the multitude,
leading the procession to the house of God
with shouts of joy and praise. [5] Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why the unease within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him
for the salvation of His presence. [6] O my God, my soul despairs within me.
Therefore I remember You
from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon—
even from Mount Mizar. [7] Deep calls to deep
in the roar of Your waterfalls;
all Your breakers and waves
have rolled over me. [8] The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day,
and at night His song is with me
as a prayer to the God of my life. [9] I say to God my Rock,
“Why have You forgotten me?
Why must I walk in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression?” [10] Like the crushing of my bones,
my enemies taunt me,
while they say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?” [11] Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why the unease within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him,
my Savior and my God.
