1As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O °ElohimGod. 2My soul thirsteth for °ElohimGod, for the living ElGod: when shall I come and appear before °ElohimGod? 3My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy °ElohimGod? 4These 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. 5Why 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. 6My °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. 7Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me. 8In 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. 9I will say unto ElGod my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 10As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy °ElohimGod? 11Why 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.
