1As the deer pants for the water brooks,
2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
3My tears have been my food day and night,
4These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,
5Why are you in despair, my soul?
6My God, my soul is in despair within me.
7Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls.
8will command his loving kindness in the daytime.
9I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me?
10As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me,
11Why are you in despair, my soul?
