Dual Panel1For the music director <05329>; a well-written song <04905> by the Korahites <07141> <01121>. As a deer <0354> longs <06165> for <05921> streams <0650> of water <04325>, so <03651> I <05315> long <06165> for <0413> you, O God <0430>!
2I <05315> thirst <06770> for God <0430>, for the living <02416> God <0410>. I say, “When <04970> will I be able to go <0935> and appear <07200> in God’s <0430> presence <06440>?”
3I cannot eat <03899>, I weep <01832> day <03119> and night <03915>; all <03605> day <03117> long they say <0559> to <0413> me, “Where <0346> is your God <0430>?”
4I will remember <02142> and weep <05315> <08210>! For <03588> I was once walking along <05674> with the great <05519> throng <01718> to <05704> the temple <01004> of God <0430>, shouting <07440> <06963> and giving thanks <08426> along with the crowd <01995> as we celebrated the holy festival <02287>.
5Why <04100> are you depressed <07817>, O my soul <05315>? Why are you upset <01993>? Wait for <03176> God <0430>! For <03588> I will again <05750> give thanks <03034> to my God for his saving intervention <03444>.
6I am depressed <07817> <05315> <05921>, so I will pray <02142> to you while I am trapped here in the region <0776> of the upper Jordan <03383>, from Hermon <02769>, from Mount <02022> Mizar <04706>.
7One deep stream <08415> calls <07121> out to <0413> another <08415> at the sound <06963> of your waterfalls <06794>; all <03605> your billows <04867> and waves <01530> overwhelm <05674> me.
8By day <03119> the Lord <03068> decrees <06680> his loyal love <02617>, and by <05973> night <03915> he gives me a song <07892>, a prayer <08605> to the living <02416> God <0410>.
9I will pray <0559> to God <0410>, my high ridge <05553>: “Why <04100> do you ignore <07911> me? Why <04100> must I walk <01980> around mourning <06937> because my enemies <0341> oppress <03906> me?”
10My enemies <06887>’ taunts <02778> cut into me to the bone <06106>, as they say <0559> to <0413> me all <03605> day <03117> long, “Where <0346> is your God <0430>?”
11Why <04100> are you depressed <07817>, O my soul <05315>? Why <04100> are you upset <01993>? Wait for <03176> God <0430>! For <03588> I will again <05750> give thanks <03034> to my God <0430> for his saving intervention <03444>.
