1As a deer longs for streams of water,
so I long for You, God.
2I thirst for God, the living God.
When can I come and appear before God?
3My tears have been my food day and night,
while all day long people say to me,
“Where is your God? ”
4I remember this as I pour out my heart:[#Ps 62:8]
how I walked with many,
leading the festive procession to the house of God,
with joyful and thankful shouts.
5Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.
6I am deeply depressed;[#Some Hb mss, LXX, Syr; other Hb mss read Him, the salvation of His presence. 6 My God, I]
therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan
and the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
7Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls;
all Your breakers and Your billows have swept over me.
8The Lord will send His faithful love by day;[#Jb 35:10; Ps 77:6]
His song will be with me in the night —
a prayer to the God of my life.
9I will say to God, my rock,[#Ps 18:2; 31:3]
“Why have You forgotten me?
Why must I go about in sorrow
because of the enemy’s oppression? ”
10My adversaries taunt me,
as if crushing my bones,
while all day long they say to me,
“Where is your God? ”
11Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.
