1 For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah.
2 My soul thirsts 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 are you in despair, my soul?
6 My God, my soul is in despair within me.
7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls.
8 The LORD will command his loving kindness in the daytime.
9 I will ask God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me?
10 As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me,
11 Why are you in despair, my soul?
