¹ As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, God. ⓐ

² I thirst for God, the living God. When can I come and appear before God? ⓑ

³ My tears have been my food day and night, while all day long people say to me, “Where is your God?” ⓒ

⁴ I remember this as I pour out my heart: ⓓ how I walked with many, leading the festive procession to the house of God, with joyful and thankful shouts. ⓔ

⁵ Why am I so depressed? Why this turmoil within me? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him, my Savior and my God. ⓕ

⁶ I [1] am deeply depressed; therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. ⓖ

⁷ Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and Your billows have swept over me. ⓗ

⁸ The LORD will send His faithful love by day; ⓘ His song will be with me in the night — a prayer to the God of my life.

⁹ I will say to God, my rock, ⓙ “Why have You forgotten me? Why must I go about in sorrow because of the enemy’s oppression?” ⓚ

¹⁰ My adversaries taunt me, as if crushing my bones, while all day long they say to me, “Where is your God?” ⓛ

¹¹ Why am I so depressed? Why this turmoil within me? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him, my Savior and my God. ⓜ
