¹ As the deer ^[b]pants for the water brooks,
So my soul ^[c](a)pants for You, O God.
² My soul ^(b)thirsts for God, for the ^(c)living God;
When shall I come and ^[d](d)appear before God?
³ My ^(e)tears have been my food day and night,
While they ^(f)say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
⁴ These things I remember and I ^(g)pour out my soul within me.
For I ^(h)used to go along with the throng and ^[e]lead them in procession to the house of God,
With the voice of ⁽ⁱ⁾joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.

^5 (j)Why are you ^[f](k)in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become ^(l)disturbed within me?
^[g](m)Hope in God, for I shall ^[h]again praise ^[i]Him
For the ^[j](n)help of His presence.
⁶ O my God, my soul is ^[k]in despair within me;
Therefore I ^(o)remember You from ^(p)the land of the Jordan
And the ^[l]peaks of ^(q)Hermon, from Mount Mizar.
⁷ Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;
All Your ^(r)breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.
⁸ The Lord will ^(s)command His lovingkindness in the daytime;
And His song will be with me ^(t)in the night,
A prayer to ^(u)the God of my life.

⁹ I will say to God ^(v)my rock, "Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go ^(w)mourning ^[m]because of the ^(x)oppression of the enemy?"
¹⁰ As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries revile me,
While they ^(y)say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"
^11 (z)Why are you ^[n]in despair, O my soul?
And why have you become disturbed within me?
^[o]Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him,
The ^[p]help of my countenance and my God.
