< > As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul after you, God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually ask me, "Where is your God?"

These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, How I used to go with the crowd, and led them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.

My God, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, The heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.

Yahweh will command his lovingkindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: A prayer to the God of my life.

I will ask God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"

As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me, While they continually ask me, "Where is your God?"

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, The saving help of my countenance, and my God.

Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Then I will go to the altar of God, To God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, The saving help of my face, and my God.

< > We have heard with our ears, God; Our fathers have told us, What work you did in their days, In the days of old.

You are my King, God. Command victories for Jacob!

In God have we made our boast all day long, We will give thanks to your name forever. Selah.

If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

Won't God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, Therefore God has blessed you forever.
