NET BibleKing James Bible
1For the music director; a well-written song by the Korahites. As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God! 1To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2I thirst for God, for the living God. I say, "When will I be able to go and appear in God's presence?" 2My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
3I cannot eat, I weep day and night; all day long they say to me, "Where is your God?" 3My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
4I will remember and weep! For I was once walking along with the great throng to the temple of God, shouting and giving thanks along with the crowd as we celebrated the holy festival. 4When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
5Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention. 5Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
6I am depressed, so I will pray to you while I am trapped here in the region of the upper Jordan, from Hermon, from Mount Mizar. 6O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
7One deep stream calls out to another at the sound of your waterfalls; all your billows and waves overwhelm me. 7Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
8By day the LORD decrees his loyal love, and by night he gives me a song, a prayer to the living God. 8Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
9I will pray to God, my high ridge: "Why do you ignore me? Why must I walk around mourning because my enemies oppress me?" 9I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10My enemies' taunts cut into me to the bone, as they say to me all day long, "Where is your God?" 10As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
11Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention. 11Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
