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.
1As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.
2For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
3Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
3My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”
4And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.
4These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
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?
5Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.
6Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
6My God, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.
