BOOK 2
My Soul Thirsts for God
42For the choir director. A 1Maskil of the sons of Korah.
As the deer 2pants for the water brooks,So my soul 3,apants for You, O God.2My soul athirsts for God, for the bliving God;When shall I come and 1,cappear before God?3My atears have been my food day and night,While they bsay to me all day long, “Where is your God?”4These things I remember and I apour out my soul within me.For I bused to go along with the throng and 1lead them in procession to the house of God,With the sound of a cshout of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.5aWhy are you 1,bin despair, O my soul?And why are you cdisturbed within me?dWait for God, for I shall still praise Him,2For the 3,esalvation of His presence.6O my God, my soul is 1in despair within me;Therefore I aremember You from bthe land of the JordanAnd the 2peaks of cHermon, from Mount Mizar.7Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;All Your abreakers and Your waves have rolled over me.8By day, Yahweh will acommand His lovingkindness;And bby night, His song will be with me,A prayer to cthe God of my life.9I say to God amy rock, “Why have You forgotten me?Why do I go bmourning 1because of the coppression of the enemy?”10As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries reproach me,While they asay to me all day long, “Where is your God?”11aWhy are you 1in despair, O my soul?And why are you disturbed within me?Wait for God, for I shall still praise Him,The salvation of my presence and my God.
