¹ To the chief musician. A Contemplation for the sons of Korah. As the deer pants after the channels of water, so my soul pants after You, O God.² My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; when shall I come and see the face of God?³ My tears have been my food by day and by night, while they say to me all the day, Where is your God?⁴ When I remember these things and I pour out my soul on me (for I passed over with the throng; I led them to the house of God with the voice of rejoicing and praise, a host keeping the feast).⁵ O my soul, why are you cast down and moan within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet thank Him for the salvation of His presence.

⁶ O my God, my soul is cast down within me; on account of this I remember You from the land of Jordan, and from the Hermonites, from Mount Mizar.⁷ Deep calls to deep through the voice of Your waterfalls; all Your waves and Your billows have passed over me.⁸ Jehovah will command His loving-kindness by day, and His song shall be with me in the night, a prayer to the God of my life.⁹ I will say to God my Rock, Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning when the enemy oppresses me?¹⁰ Ones vexing me reproach me with crushing in my bones, when they say to me every day, Where is your God?¹¹ O my soul, why are you cast down? And why do you moan within me? Hope in God, for I yet thank Him for the salvation of my face and my God.
