^1 (b)As a deer pants for flowing streams,
    so pants my soul for you, O God.
^2 (c)My soul thirsts for God,
    for ^(d)the living God.
When shall I come and ^(e)appear before God?^[b]
3 (f)My tears have been my food
    day and night,
^(g)while they say to me all the day long,
    "Where is your God?"
⁴ These things I remember,
    as I ^(h)pour out my soul:
⁽ⁱ⁾how I would go ^(j)with the throng
    and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
    ^(k)a multitude keeping festival.

^5 (l)Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you ^(m)in turmoil within me?
⁽ⁿ⁾Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation^{[c] 6} and my God.

My soul is cast down within me;
    therefore I ^(o)remember you
^(p)from the land of Jordan and of ^(q)Hermon,
    from Mount Mizar.
⁷ Deep calls to deep
    at the roar of your waterfalls;
^(r)all your breakers and your ^(s)waves
    have gone over me.
⁸ By day the Lord ^(t)commands his steadfast love,
    and at ^(u)night his song is with me,
    a prayer to the God of my life.
⁹ I say to God, ^(v)my rock:
    "Why have you forgotten me?
^(w)Why do I go mourning
    because of the oppression of the enemy?"
¹⁰ As with a deadly wound in my bones,
    my adversaries taunt me,
^(x)while they say to me all the day long,
    "Where is your God?"

^11 (y)Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation and my God.
