Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after You, O God.
1A psalm for David. Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.
2My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?
2For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
3My tears have been my food both day and night, while men ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”
3Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
4These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.
4And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.
5Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence.
5To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
6O my God, my soul despairs within me. Therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon— even from Mount Mizar.
6Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
7Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me.
