For the director of music. A "maskil" of the Sons of Korah.

1 As the deer¹ pants for streams of water,² so my soul pants³ for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts⁴ for God, for the living God.⁵ When can I go⁶ and meet with God? 3 My tears⁷ have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God?"⁸ 4 These things I remember as I pour out my soul:⁹ how I used to go with the multitude, leading the procession to the house of God,¹⁰ with shouts of joy¹¹ and thanksgiving¹² among the festive throng.¹³
