1 For the Chief Musician. Maschil of the sons of Korah.
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:
3 My tears have been my food day and night,
4 These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me:
7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls:
8 Yet
9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?
10 As with a sword in my bones, mine adversaries reproach me,
11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
