For the sons of Korah.

1b As the hart pants after the water brooks,
so pants my soul after you,
O 'Elohiym/Godhead.

2 My soul thirsts for 'Elohiym/Godhead,
for the living 'El/God . . .
when shall I come and appear before 'Elohiym/Godhead?

3 My tears have been my meat day and night,
while they continually say unto me,
Where is your 'Elohiym/Godhead?

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 'Elohiym/Godhead,
with the voice of joy and praise,
with a multitude that kept holyday.

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul?

And why are you disquieted in me?

Hope you in 'Elohiym/Godhead . . .
for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.

6 O my 'Elohiym/Godhead,
my soul is cast down within me.

Therefore will I remember You from the land of Jordan,
and of the Hermonites,
from the hill Mizar.

7 Deep calls unto deep
at the noise of your waterspouts.

All Your waves and Your billows
are gone over me.

8 Yet Jehovah/God will command His loving-kindness
in the daytime,
and in the night
His song shall be with me,
and my prayer unto the Jehovah/God of my life.

9 I will say unto 'Elohiym/Godhead my rock,
Why have you forgotten me?

Why go I mourning
because of the oppression of the enemy?

10 As with a sword in my bones,
my enemies reproach me;
while they say daily unto me,
Where is your 'Elohiym/Godhead?

11 Why are you cast down, O my soul?

And why are you disquieted within me?

Hope you in 'Elohiym/Godhead . . .
for I shall yet praise Him,
who is the health of my countenance,
and my 'Elohiym/Godhead.
