Dual PanelBook 2
1For the leader: a maskil: for the Korahites AS A hind longs for the running streams, so I long for you, my God.
2I thirst for God, the living God; when shall I come to appear in his presence?
3Tears are my food day and night, while all day long people ask me, “Where is your God?”
4As I pour out my soul in distress, I call to mind how I marched in the ranks of the great to God's house, among exultant shouts of praise, the clamour of the pilgrims.
5How deep I am sunk in misery, groaning in my distress! I shall wait for God; I shall yet praise him, my deliverer, my God.
6I am sunk in misery, therefore I shall remember you from the springs of Jordan and from the Hermons, and from the hill of Mizar.
7Deep calls to deep in the roar of your cataracts, and all your waves, all your breakers, sweep over me.
8By day the LORD grants his unfailing love; at night his praise is upon my lips, a prayer to the God of my life.
9I shall say to God, my Rock, “Why have you forgotten me?” Why must I go like a mourner because my foes oppress me?
10My enemies taunt me with crushing insults: the whole day long they ask, “Where is your God?”
11How deep I am sunk in misery, groaning in my distress! I shall wait for God; I shall yet praise him, my deliverer, my God.
