- As a deer longs for running streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - My soul thirsts for God, the living God.
When shall I come to behold the face of God? - The depths of the sea resound
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and your breakers
sweep over me. - During the day the Lord grants his kindness,
and at night his praise is with me,
a prayer to the living God. - Why are you so disheartened, O my soul?
Why do you sigh within me?
Place your hope in God;
for I will once again praise him,
my Savior and my God.
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Can a woman forget the infant at her breast;
or feel no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even should she forget,
I will never forget you.
Behold, I have inscribed your name
on the palms of my hands;
your walls are continually before my eyes.Next verse!With image
