1. As a deer pants for flowing streams,so pants my soul for you, O God.
2. My soul thirsts for God,for the living God.When shall I come and appear before God?
3. My tears have been my foodday and night, while they say to me all the day long,“Where is your God?”
4. These things I remember,as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throngand lead them in procession to the house of Godwith glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival.
5. 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
6. and my God.My soul is cast down within me;therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,from Mount Mizar.
