To him that excelleth. A Psalme to giue instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. As the harte brayeth for the riuers of water, so panteth my soule after thee, O God.

My soule thirsteth for God, euen for the liuing God: when shall I come and appeare before the presence of God?

My teares haue bin my meate day & night, while they dayly say vnto me, Where is thy God?

When I remembred these things, I powred out my very heart, because I had gone with the multitude, and ledde them into the House of God with the voyce of singing, and prayse, as a multitude that keepeth a feast.

Why art thou cast downe, my soule, and vnquiet within me? waite on God: for I will yet giue him thankes for the helpe of his presence.

My God, my soule is cast downe within me, because I remember thee, from the land of Iorden, and Hermonim, and from the mount Mizar.

The Lorde will graunt his louing kindenesse in the day, and in the night shall I sing of him, euen a prayer vnto the God of my life.

I wil say vnto God, which is my rocke, Why hast thou forgotten mee? why goe I mourning, when the enemie oppresseth me?

My bones are cut asunder, while mine enemies reproch me, saying dayly vnto me, Where is thy God?

Why art thou cast downe, my soule? and why art thou disquieted within mee? waite on God: for I wil yet giue him thankes: he is my present helpe, and my God.

Ivdge me, O God, and defend my cause against the vnmercifull people: deliuer mee from the deceitfull and wicked man.

For thou art the God of my strength: why hast thou put me away? why goe I so mourning, when the enemie oppresseth me?

Then wil I go vnto the altar of God, euen vnto the God of my ioy & gladnes: and vpon the harpe wil I giue thanks vnto thee, O God, my God.

Why art thou cast downe, my soule? and why art thou disquieted within mee? waite on God: for I will yet giue him thankes, he is my present helpe, and my God.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme to giue instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. Wee haue heard with our eares, O God: our fathers haue tolde vs the workes, that thou hast done in their dayes, in the olde time:

Thou art my King, O God: send helpe vnto Iaakob.

Therefore will wee praise God continually, and will confesse thy Name for euer. Selah.

If wee haue forgotten the Name of our God, and holden vp our hands to a strange god,

Shall not God searche this out? for hee knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Thou art fayrer then the children of men: grace is powred in thy lips, because God hath blessed thee for euer.
