Refrain:
My soul is thirsting for the Lord:
when shall I see God face to face?
1 As a deer longs for flowing streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God
2 My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God. (repeat phrases c and d)
When shall I come and behold
the face of God? (Refrain)
3 My tears have been my food
[both] day and night,
while people say to me continually,
"Where is your God?" (Refrain)
4 These things I remember,
as I pour out my soul:
how I went with the throng,
nd led them in procession
to the house of God, (repeat phrases c and d)
with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving,
a multitude keeping festival. (Refrain)
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him, my help
6 and my God. (Refrain)
My soul is cast down within me;
therefore I remember You
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
[and] from Mount Mizar.
7 Deep calls to deep
at the thunder of Your cataracts;
all Your waves and Your billows
have gone over me. (Refrain)
8 By day the Lord commands His steadfast love,
and at night His song is with me, (omit phrase c)
a prayer to the God of my life. (Refrain)
9 I say to God, my rock,
"Why have You forgotten me?
Why must I walk about mournfully
because the enemy oppresses me?" (Refrain)
10 As with a deadly wound in my body,
my adversaries taunt me,
while they say to me continually,
"Where is your God?" (Refrain)
11 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him,
my help and my God. (Refrain)
