Book Two
Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?
To the choirmaster. A Maskil1 of sthe Sons of Korah.
1tAs a deer pants for flowing streams,
so pants my soul for you, O God.
2uMy soul thirsts for God,
for vthe living God.
When shall I come and wappear before God?2
3xMy tears have been my food
day and night,
ywhile they say to me all the day long,
“Where is your God?”
4These things I remember,
as I zpour out my soul:
ahow I would go bwith the throng
and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
ca multitude keeping festival.
5dWhy are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you ein turmoil within me?
fHope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation3 6and my God.
My soul is cast down within me;
therefore I gremember you
hfrom the land of Jordan and of iHermon,
from Mount Mizar.
7Deep calls to deep
at the roar of your waterfalls;
jall your breakers and your kwaves
have gone over me.
8By day the Lord lcommands his steadfast love,
and at mnight his song is with me,
a prayer to the God of my life.
9I say to God, nmy rock:
“Why have you forgotten me?
oWhy do I go mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10As with a deadly wound in my bones,
my adversaries taunt me,
pwhile they say to me all the day long,
“Where is your God?”
11qWhy are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation and my God.
