1 As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O °ElohimGod.

2 My soul thirsteth for °ElohimGod, for the living *ElGod: when shall I come and appear before °ElohimGod?

3 My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy °ElohimGod?

4 These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of °ElohimGod, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude.

5 Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in °ElohimGod; for I shall yet praise him, [for] the health of his countenance.

6 My °ElohimGod, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar.

7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.

8 In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the *ElGod of my life.

9 I will say unto *ElGod my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

10 As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy °ElohimGod?

11 Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in °ElohimGod; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my °ElohimGod.
