Just as a deer longs for running streams, God, I long for you. I am thirsty for God, for the living God! When can I come and appear before God? My adversaries’ taunts make me feel as if my bones were crushed, as they ask me all day long, ‘Where is your God?’ My soul, why are you so downcast? Why are you groaning inside me? Hope in God, since I will praise him again for being my Savior and God.
