1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

4 When 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.

5 Why 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.

6 O 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.

7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

8 Yet 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.

9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

11 Why 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.

1 神啊！ 我的心渴慕你， 好像鹿渴慕溪水。

2 我的心渴想 神， 就是永活的 神； 我什么时候可以来朝见 神的面呢？

3 人整天对我说： "你的 神在哪里呢？"我就昼夜以眼泪当饭吃。

4 我从前常常和群众同去， 与他们进到 神的殿里， 在欢呼和称谢声中， 大家守节。每逢想起这些事， 我的心就感到难过。

5 我的心哪！ 你为什么沮丧呢？为什么在我里面不安呢？应当等候 神； 因为我还要称赞他， 他是我面前的救助、我的 神。

6 我的心在我里面沮丧； 因此我从约旦地， 从黑门岭， 从米萨山， 记念你。

7 你的瀑布一发声， 深渊就和深渊响应； 你的洪涛和波浪都掩盖了我。

8 白天耶和华赐下他的慈爱； 夜间我要向他歌颂， 向赐我生命的 神祷告。

9 我要对 神我的磐石说： "你为什么忘记我呢？我为什么因仇敌的压迫徘徊悲哀呢？"

10 我的敌人整天对我说： "你的 神在哪里呢？"他们这样辱骂我的时候， 就像在击碎我的骨头。

11 我的心哪！ 你为什么沮丧呢？为什么在我里面不安呢？应当等候 神； 因为我还要称赞他， 他是我面前的救助、我的 神。
