2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.When may I come to see God’s face?
3 My tears are my food day and night.People ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”
4 I will remember these things as I pour out my soul:how I used to walk with the crowdand lead it in a procession to God’s house.⌊I sang⌋ songs of joy and thanksgivingwhile crowds of people celebrated a festival.
5 Why are you discouraged, my soul?Why are you so restless?Put your hope in God,because I will still praise him.He is my savior and my God.
6 My soul is discouraged.That is why I will remember youin the land of Jordan, on the peaks of Hermon, on Mount Mizar.
7 One deep sea calls to another at the roar of your waterspouts.All the whitecaps on your waves have swept over me.
8 The Lord commands his mercy during the day,and at night his song is with me—a prayer to the God of my life.
