1. As the hart pants after the water brooks, so does my soul pant after thee, 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 food day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
4. I will remember these things; I will pour out my soul in me. When I shall be included in the number; I will go with them to the house of God with voice of joy and praise, dancing in the multitude.
5. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted against me? Wait thou for God, for I shall yet praise him for the wellbeing of his presence.
6. O my God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore I will remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the mountain of Mizar.
