1   As a hind longs for the running streams,
so do I long for thee, O God.
2   With my whole being I thirst for God, the living God.
When shall I come to God and appear in his presence?
3   Day and night, tears are my food;
‘Where is your God?’ they ask me all day long.
4   As I pour out my soul in distress, I call to mind
how I marched in the ranks of the great ^note to the house of God,
among exultant shouts of praise, the clamour of the pilgrims.
   5   How deep I am sunk in misery,
  groaning in my distress:
  yet I will wait for God;
  I will praise him continually,
  my ^note deliverer, my God.
6   I am sunk in misery, therefore will I remember thee,
  though from the Hermons and the springs of Jordan,
    and from the hill of Mizar,
7   deep calls to deep in the roar of thy cataracts,
and all thy waves, all thy breakers, pass over me.
   8   The Lord makes his unfailing love shine forth ^note

    alike by day and night;
  his praise on my lips is a prayer
    to the God of my life.
9   I will say to God my rock, ‘Why hast thou forgotten me?’
Why must I go like a mourner because my foes oppress me?
10   My enemies taunt me, jeering ^note at my misfortunes;
‘Where is your God?’ they ask me all day long.
   11   How deep I am sunk in misery,
  groaning in my distress:
  yet I will wait for God;
  I will praise him continually,
  my deliverer, my God.
