My Soul Thirsts for God

For the choir director. A (FA)Maskil of the sons of Korah.

1 As the deer (F1)pants for the water brooks,
So my soul (F1)(C1)pants for You, O God.

2 My soul (C1)thirsts for God, for the (C2)living God;
When shall I come and (F1)(C3)appear before God?

3 My (C1)tears have been my food day and night,
While they (C2)say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

4 These things I remember and I (C1)pour out my soul within me.
For I (C2)used to go along with the throng and (F1)lead them in procession to the house of God,
With the sound of a (C3)shout of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

5 (C1)Why are you (F1)(C2)in despair, O my soul?
And why are you (C3)disturbed within me?
(C4)Wait for God, for I shall still praise Him,
(F2)For the (F3)(C5)salvation of His presence.

6 O my God, my soul is (F1)in despair within me;
Therefore I (C1)remember You from (C2)the land of the Jordan
And the (F2)peaks of (C3)Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

7 Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;
All Your (C1)breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.

8 By day, Yahweh will (C1)command His lovingkindness;
And (C2)by night, His song will be with me,
A prayer to (C3)the God of my life.

9 I say to God (C1)my rock, "Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go (C2)mourning (F1)because of the (C3)oppression of the enemy?"

10 As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries reproach me,
While they (C1)say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"

11 (C1)Why are you (F1)in despair, O my soul?
And why are you disturbed within me?
Wait for God, for I shall still praise Him,
The salvation of my presence and my God.
