BOOK II

As the Deer Pants for the Water

For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah.￰92￱

1As the deer pants for streams of water,so my soul longs after You, O God.

2My soul thirsts for God, the living God.When shall I come and appear in God’s presence?*

3My tears have been my foodboth day and night,while men ask me all day long,“Where is your God?”

4These things come to mind as I pour out my soul:how I walked with the multitude,leading the procession to the house of Godwith shouts of joy and praise.

5Why are you downcast, O my soul?Why the unease within me?Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Himfor the salvation of His presence.

6O my God, my soul despairs within me.Therefore I remember Youfrom the land of Jordan and the peaks of Hermon—even from Mount Mizar.

7Deep calls to deepin the roar of Your waterfalls;all Your breakers and waveshave rolled over me.

8The LORD decrees His loving devotion by day,and at night His song is with meas a prayer to the God of my life.

9I say to God my Rock,“Why have You forgotten me?Why must I walk in sorrowbecause of the enemy’s oppression?”

10Like the crushing of my bones,my enemies taunt me,while they say to me all day long,“Where is your God?”

11Why are you downcast, O my soul?Why the unease within me?Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him,my Savior and my God.
