- As a deer longs for flowing streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
the face of God? - Deep calls to deep
at the thunder of your cataracts;
all your waves and your billows
have gone over me. - By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,
and at night his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life. - Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God.
For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.
