421 As the deer pants for the water brooks , So my soul pants for You, 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 say to me all day long, "Where is your God ?" 4 These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go along with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God , With the voice of joy and thanksgiving , a multitude keeping festival . 5 Why are you in despair , O my soul ? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God , for I shall again praise Him For the help of His presence .
6 O my God , my soul is in despair within me; Therefore e I remember You from the land of the Jordan And the peaks of Hermon , from Mount Mizar . 7 Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls ; All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me. 8 The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime ; And 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 do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy ?" 10 As a shattering of my bones , my adversaries revile me, While they say to me all day long, "Where is your God ?" 11 Why are you in despair , O my soul ? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God , for I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God .
